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.

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

 

 

Dear reader

 

SR Hoplon is delighted to present the second part of its trilogy.

 

In today’s post we will introduce the largest magnetic storm of the 20’th century. A storm that has become an archetypal disturbance for examining geomagnetic hazards to power systems and which has become the most legendary story among electrical engineers and space scientists. A storm that gave people on Earth a taste of what space weather can do to our space and terrestrial infrastructures and which is a perfect example of why the implementation of mitigation measures is so important.

C H A P T E R N ° 2’¹ Historical Space Weather Events

 

 

Dear reader

 

SR Hoplon is delighted to present its three-part mini-series (trilogy) where we will unveil what happened during the three most referred to space weather events among the space weather community. All this to hopefully illustrate the importance of space weather awareness and the implementation of mitigation measures.

 

In today’s post we will look into the most feared event of them all: The Carrington Event.
