Other stars occasionally produce such «superflares,» some up to 10,000 times the power of the largest solar flare ever detected.

Currently, the Sun is supposed to be entering the quietest phase of its 11 - year cycle, but that hasn't stopped it from blasting forth some of the largest solar flares on record.
