"Carrington Event: Here's Why Scientists Are Terrified Of It -
And Why It Could Happen Again"
"In 1859, a solar storm set telegraph wires on fire. If it happened today, it wouldn’t just knock out your Wi-Fi - it could unravel the systems that hold modern civilization together. This video dives into the forgotten terror of the Carrington Event, a geomagnetic superstorm so powerful it electrified equipment, shocked operators, and lit the skies far beyond the poles. Back then, the world survived because it was simple. Today, everything depends on satellites, high-voltage power grids, GPS timing, and fragile digital networks. And now, the Sun is sending warning shots. The AR4366 sunspot region has erupted into a full-blown solar flare factory, producing massive X-class flares that raise uncomfortable questions scientists can’t fully answer yet. Is this just noise at the peak of Solar Cycle 25 - or the early phase of something much bigger? This is a deep-dive into real data, historical clues, modern vulnerabilities, and the unsettling possibility that the next Carrington-level storm won’t announce itself until it’s already too late."
