Latest research solar storms to modern technological infrastructure shows that it can cause serious damage. happened in the past gigantic solar stormshelps us understand the magnitude of the threats we may face today.

scientistsidentified solar storms that have occurred throughout history by examining radiocarbon levels in tree rings. These storms By causing large disturbances in the Earth’s magnetic fieldcould have devastating consequences for satellite systems and power grids.

Detecting solar storms through radiocarbon analysis

Experts argue that the changes caused by these storms affect the rate of absorption of radiocarbon by trees. A notable example in this regard is in 1859 realized Carrington IncidentIn Europe and North America at that time Telegraph systems did not workSome of them produced sparks and caused fires.

Scientists found in tree rings by analyzing radiocarbon levelstraced extreme solar storms throughout history. Studies show that solar storms that occurred in some periods, such as the year 774, were much stronger than the Carrington Event. Such events The Earth’s magnetic field It could negatively impact satellite systems and electricity grids.

Potential threats from solar storms Given that scientists need to do more to predict the future effects of such events. to do research is required.
