The Most Powerful Solar Storm in History and Why It Matters for Our Civilization

In this episode, we explore the new discovery of a giant solar storm that occurred 14,300 years ago, which was much more powerful than the Carrington Event of 1859, the most severe geomagnetic storm ever recorded in history. We also discuss the consequences of a giant solar storm for modern technology and society, and what we can do to prepare for future solar storms. We use ancient tree rings, scientific data, and space weather models to explain this fascinating topic and why it’s important for our civilization.
