We’re Underestimating the Power of ‘One-in-a-Thousand-Year’ Solar Storms, NASA Warns

Cataclysmic solar storms may be rare, but they do happen. And unlike the legendary 1859 Carrington Event—which knocked out telegraphs across Europe and North America and dragged the Northern Lights down to Florida—some have happened recently enough to give us a sense of how modern electronics might fare. Solar radiation from 2003’s “Halloween Storms,” for
