Conclusions

Rock bursts in underground coal pits are not only affected by geological and mining-technological factors, but also depend on the following astronomical factors.

The probability of rock bursts increases with the tidal influence of the moon on the earth. The probability of rock bursts is highest when the moon is at perigee, and lowest when it is at apogee.

The probability of rock bursts falls as solar activity increases. The probability of bursts is highest in years of minimum solar activity and lowest in years of maximum solar activity.
