The 1859 Carrington event, named after the British astronomer Richard Carrington, is the strongest recorded solar storm in our history. It caused Auroras to be seen even in the tropics and close to the equator. Solar storms, much less intense can cause substantial damage to satellites and power grids. What will be impact if an event like 1859 occurs today? With our total dependency on electricity and electronics, the results can be catastrophic. Watch the video to find out what are our chances to survive such a disaster.
