A silent, magnificent fury is constantly brewing on the surface of the Sun, manifesting as towering waves of superheated gas, solar flares, and the most powerful explosions in the solar system: Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). This documentary explores the history and rising threat of these solar superstorms, beginning with the 1859 Carrington Event, which was powerful enough to cause spectacular auroras globally and set telegraph systems on fire, our first warning about the Sun's destructive potential.
