Discovery Channel har kommet med en ny dokumentar som tar utgangspunkt i den store solstormen i 1859, også kalt «The Carrington Event». Her er en omtale som også har noen små videosnutter:

Sitat:
A new documentary narrated by music legend Sting examines the extreme threat that solar weather poses to modern society.
The hour-long TV doc, titled "The Dark Side of the Sun," leads with the story of the 1859 "Carrington event," when the sun spit a mass of charged particles straight at the Earth.
Sitat:
The documentary certainly seems to suggest that people should be afraid of what these solar events could do to Earth. But thankfully, the broadcast also shows viewers the steps being taken to prepare for such an event, including new space missions to study the sun and improve solar weather forecasting.
Sitat:
"The Dark Side of the Sun" will air on Discovery Channel this Saturday (Feb. 11), and again on Science Channel on Sunday (Feb. 12).
Når dette blir vist I Norge, vet jeg ikke. Men kanskje noen av dere er bedre informert? Post i så fall her så vi andre får det med oss.
