C H A P T E R N ° 2’³ Historical Space Weather Events

Dear reader

SR Hoplon is delighted to present the third and last part of its trilogy focused on the most referred to historical space weather events.

In today’s post we will introduce the largest recorded proton event and the 6’th largest storm recorded since 1932. This storm is known to be the cause of Earth losing half of its satellites within less than two weeks. From a scientific and technical perspective, the knowledge obtained from the storm is argued to be the most diverse observations ever made for a space weather event. This storm gave people on Earth a taste of what space weather can do to our space and terrestrial infrastructures even when it is not completely Earth-directed. It highlights why space weather awareness and the implementation of mitigation measures are important even in cases of none-Earth-directed space weather events.
