“some say would represent similarities to the 1859 Carrington Event.””
Wait... 1859? Are we still here?
“It created strong auroral displays that were reported globally[1] and caused sparking and fires in multiple telegraph stations.”
Good thing we don’t have THOSE anymore!
“catastrophic for Earth” ??????? Hyperbole much?
It was sooooo disruptive in 1859, that they had to postpone the Civil War a few years. /s
