Two British astronomers, Christopher Carrington and Richard Hodgson, observed the halo of gas independently. However, today only the Carrington incident is feared. It caused a strong polar wave around the world.

The telegraphs failed. They studied the operation of electric eyes. Sparks flew from telegraph poles. If something similar were to happen in the present, there would probably be a satellite on both sides.

To find out the exact intensity of the event from 1859 is obt. The equipment and units were different from today. According to the first estimates, the incident was caused by a geomagnetic storm that affects the Earth on average once every thousand years. Later, however, they reduced the physicist’s estimate. Boue was only a hundred years old.

It would correspond to a change in the magnetic field of about 350 nanometers per minute. Tesla is a unit of magnitude known as magnetic induction. It describes the strength of the magnetic field. One tesla is worth Sometimes the first name is used.

Ciaran D. Beggan’s team from the British Geological Survey claims that the original estimates of the sound of the Carrington event were more realistic than later corrected. They researched the history of the times. They were caught by two London observatories. Magnetic needles were used for the test. Their movement was recorded on papr. Peppers have survived.

Pepotat note on the day of the unit was obt. Beggan et al. but think that they succeeded. According to them, the Boue from 1859 was manifested by a change in the magnetic field of around 500 nanotesles per minute.

In one moment, the needle bag left the papr. It could therefore also be vc. Men thus respond to the stream of solar radiation that dries up the Earth once every thousand years.
