[QUOTE="MODAT7, post: 234382, member: 13649"] [USER=14640]@Beholder[/USER]: Aren't you thinking of a gamma ray burst from a relatively nearby supernova or maybe a feeding quasar jet? Being close enough to a stable neutron star / magnetar generating a pulsar signal would irradiate the planet for who knows how many thousands of years before the orbits shifted/drifted/tilted away enough to get the planet out of the beam.
