The Sun Kings: In September of 1859, the entire Earth was engulfed in a gigantic cloud of seething gas, and a blood-red aurora erupted across the planet from the poles to the tropics. Around the world, telegraph systems crashed, machines burst into flames, and electric shocks rendered operators unconscious. Compasses and other sensitive instruments reeled as if struck by a massive magnetic fist. For the first time, people began to suspect that the Earth was not isolated from the rest of the universe. An amateur English astronomer Richard Carrington's observations of a mysterious explosion on the surface of the Sun and his brilliant insight–that the Sun's magnetism directly influences the Earth–helped to usher in the modern era of astronomy. Distribution: UK and US. |
