Outfield blinking next to the solar system can cause at least two great extinction in the Earth history. Research on Astronomers from Alikante University shows the explosions of large stars coinciding with disasters that occurred 445 and 372 million years ago.

Scientists have analyzed data about the stars of our OB in our galaxy – they are the ones who fulfill their lives with strong explosions. It turned out that the frequency of the supernova flashed within the radius of 65 light years from the Earth corresponding to those periods when the planet was experiencing great extinction. Both events come with the destruction of the ozone layer, which can be caused by a powerful radioactive flow after the Supernova explosion.
According to scientists, over billions of years, about 2-3 such explosions can occur near the Earth. Their consequence will be destroyed for living creatures: a weak ozone layer will miss a dangerous ultraviolet radiation leading to mutations and ecosystem changes.
Currently, the solar system is relatively safe. Although the stars of Antares and Betelgeze are preparing for the explosion, they are too far to harm the earth.
