ARLA/CLUSTER: 156 º Aniversário da maior super tempestade solar até hoje registada, hoje e perante a mesma magnitude, seria o caos.

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

156 years ago, a solar superstorm

Today is the anniversary of an historic solar storm, the *Carrington Event*

On Sept. 2, 1859, a CME struck Earth's magnetic field with such power that
telegraph stations caught fire and people in Cuba read their morning
newspapers by the red light of the aurora borealis.

If a similar storm struck our planet today, it might cause trillions of
dollars of damage to society's high-tech infrastructure.

Could the Carrington Event happen again? It almost did just a few years
ago. Extreme solar storms--past, present and future--are highlighted on
today's edition of http://spaceweather.com .
