The Carrington Event | A Short Documentary | Fascinating Horror
https://youtu.be/C9tfx6rfAIo
On the night of the 28th of August, 1859, skies around the world lit up with spectacular displays of light. In some places the heavens glowed red, as though reflecting a massive wildfire. Elsewhere broad bands of white light were seen dancing across the night sky. For almost a week skies around the world glowed so brightly that it was possible to read a newspaper at midnight. Everywhere, people gathered and gazed upwards, terrified and awestruck in equal measure. The vast majority had no idea what they were witnessing, and could only assume that it was a portent of the end of the world.
Considering some of the discussions we have had, this was an interesting video with some eye witness accounts. Edit: It was a Solar Flare event.
