By comparing the rings of 140 trees buried in the bank of a French river, researchers estimate that the largest solar storm that we know of occurred 14,300 years ago

The Carrington Event was a major reality check for a rapidly industrializing humanity.

Rings within the trunks of ancient fossilized trees showed evidence for the most powerful solar storm in history, 10 times stonger than the Carrington Event.

An international team of scientists have discovered a huge spike in radiocarbon levels 14,300 years ago by analyzing ancient tree-rings. This spike was caused by a massive solar storm hitting Earth, the biggest ever identified.

Within the rings of a 14,300-year-old tree has been found a warning of a catastrophe. Read more about it below. | World News

An ancient tree held evidence of the largest solar storm in Earths history, a process researchers say can be used to identify the risks in the future.

Researchers have identified the biggest ever solar storm – when the sun emits huge bursts of energy – using ancient tree rings.

Annual growth rings inside the ancient remains of Scots pine trees in the Southern French Alps have revealed evidence of the largest-known solar storm, one that might have fried satellites and knocked out electricity grids had it occurred today. Researchers said on Monday the solar storm - the sun sending a large burst of energetic particles into space - occurred 14,300 years ago. Evidence for it manifested as a huge spike in radiocarbon - an isotope, or form, of the element carbon - detected in
