(STUDY FINDS) – A huge storm in space striking the Earth could lead to an “internet apocalypse” within the next decade, researchers in Australia warn. This radiation would leave people offline for months or even years, knocking out satellites and power lines, their study explains.
The mysterious, unpredictable, and potentially devastating astrophysical event has been mapped for the first time – using tree rings. Forests are a great observatory for cosmic radiation, with an archive going back thousands of years.
“Based on available data, there’s roughly a one percent chance of seeing another one within the next decade,” says lead author Dr. Benjamin Pope from the University of Queensland in a media release.
