A GIANT explosion of energy from the Sun could paralyse Earth in just three years’ time, scientists warned yesterday.
They fear a huge solar flare is due to erupt in 2013 — causing blackouts and global chaos.
The once-in-a-century disaster could see power grids crash, communication systems collapse, planes grounded, food supplies hit and the internet shut down.
Everything from home freezers to car sat navs would be affected.
The disaster could mirror the Great Solar Flare of 1859.
