Throughout history, solar flares have caused amazing events! ๐
One famous event happened in 1859, called the Carrington Event. ๐ฅ
It was the strongest solar flare ever recorded! The flare caused beautiful auroras seen as far south as Cuba. But it also created problems, knocking out telegraph systems. ๐
Another big flare occurred in 1989, causing power outages in Quebec. ๐
These events teach us how powerful the Sun is and help scientists learn how to protect our Earth from
future solar flares. ๐
They also remind us how connected everything is in our solar system!
