  • Scientist Fears His Warnings of Devastating Geomagnetic Storms Will Go Unheard

    The Carrintgon Event is regarded as the largest geomagnetic solar storm known to hit Earth. But University of Colorado solar scientist Daniel Baker contends that a solar storm in July 2012 was even more powerful than the Carrington Event, and had it hit Earth, it would have caused widespread technological disaster by short-circuiting satellites, blowing out power grids and transformers and shorting ground-based communications that could have put aircraft crews and astronauts at risk.
