Or the fact that at any moment those sats could also die from a carrington+ level event.

After the next Carrington Event, my home-based, dead-tree library will make me richer than Bezos.

Entick v Carrington [1765], which was cited as the inspiration behind the fourth amendment.

If the world experienced another solar flare on level with the Carrington Event [2], we'd be screwed.

A coronal mass ejection comparable to the one causing the Carrington event of 1859 did indeed occur, a year after this article was published.

This will also increase robustness rather than continuing to tie the electricity infrastructure into one massive machine that's vulnerable to attack and Carrington events.

I would expect a Carrington sized event to fry all the satellites in orbit.

I just happen to have one around, and then once I had it, thinking about stuff like the Carrington event was sort of natural.

> Carrington storm of 1859 Isn't this storm supposed to have set telegraph wires on fire?

Also, if Earth were to take a direct hit from a large coronal mass ejection like the Carrington event of 1859, there is no telling how much data might be lost.

I wonder how long til the next Carrington Event?

I used to be afraid of Peak Oil, but it seems we are willing to burn whatever we can find, and it would be a slow death, so now I would say it would be a Carrington type event (apparently we were really close to another one in July 2012) followed by a few nuclear meltdown.

The "Carrington Event" of 1859 was about 50 percent stronger.

One of several studies on what would occur if a Carrington-level event occurred today.

National Academy of Science predicted a Carrington-level storm would inflict $1 to $2 trillion in damages to infrastructure and take four to ten years to recover from.

Carrington was a thing, nukes/emp are a thing.
