Update: 2025-11-08
Description
As Earth goes through an intense solar storm this weekend, a new simulation of the most powerful one ever paints a grim picture for our modern world. Known as the Carrington Event after the astronomer who first observed its effects, this storm in 1859 illuminated the night sky as bright as day with dazzling auroras and fried telegraph systems across the globe. Jeremy welcomes James F. Ponder to discuss the event and how devastating such a storm today could be.
