The 1859 solar storm, known as the Carrington Event, was the most intense geomagnetic storm ever recorded. It was caused by a colossal coronal mass ejection from the sun, which took less than 18 hours to reach Earth—a trip that normally takes days. The resulting auroras were so bright that people in the northeastern U.S. could read newspapers by their light at midnight. Beyond the spectacular displays, the storm induced massive electrical currents in telegraph lines. Operators were shocked, equi

The Carrington Event, which occurred nearly 200 years ago in 1859, affected telegraph systems across the world and created aurora displays as far as the equator. We hold the original magnetogram from the event in our collections, which shows the storm's raw geomagnetic data 🧲 | British Geological Survey

Back in 1859, Earth was hit by the most powerful geomagnetic storm in recorded history — the Carrington Event. ⁠ The event was caused by a coronal mass ejection (CME) — a massive burst of solar plasma — which reached Earth in just 17.6 hours. That’s incredibly fast, considering CMEs usually take a couple of days! When the Carrington Event hit, the results were extraordinary. Auroras were so bright that people could read a newspaper by their light.⁠ Telegraph systems failed and even shocked opera
