That’s what happened the day after Carrington saw the blinding beam. Electrical current raced through the sky over the western hemisphere. A typical bolt of lightning registers 30,000 amperes. This geomagnetic storm registered in the millions. 📸: Mark Pernice 7/14 https://t.co/k4a2q2gbV3 — PolitiTweet.org

When a coronal mass ejection comes your way, what matters most is the bullet’s magnetic orientation. If it has the same polarity as Earth’s protective magnetic field, you’ve gotten lucky: The two will repel. But if the polarities oppose, they will smash together. 6/14 — PolitiTweet.org

The Carrington Event, as it’s known today, is considered a once-in-a-century geomagnetic storm—but it took just six decades for another comparable blast to reach Earth. 8/14 — PolitiTweet.org
