Is the world gonna end by a gamma radiation from wr 104?
Wolf-Rayet 104 is a so-called flare star. It is a twin star system with a high energy radiation extending to some 100 AU (almost a Light-day or 27 3/4 Light-hours) and at a distance of 8000 LY from Earth. This distance makes it almost impossible for radiation to reach Solar System. That apart, we Earthlings started seeing these things only very recently with the advent of telescopes like ‘Hubble’ and ‘Chandra’. But these things are there for millions of years and Earth escaped without even a scratch. So, my conclusion is it doesn’t hurt Earth.
