Trivandrum Observatory records shed new light on Carrington Event of 1859
AI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Newly analyzed records from the Trivandrum Observatory indicate that the historic Carrington Event of 1859 was part of a prolonged series of solar plasma ejections. These findings demonstrate that Earth's magnetic field interacted with multiple solar storms over a span of several weeks rather than occurring as an isolated event.
WHY IT MATTERS
Understanding the extended duration and complex sequence of the 1859 solar storm helps scientists better assess the potential risks that severe geomagnetic events pose to modern technological infrastructure.
The research provides evidence that the Carrington Event, one of the most powerful geomagnetic storms ever recorded, was preceded and followed by a sequence of solar plasma ejections that interacted with the Earth’s magnetic field over several weeks
