On Saturday 3В September 1859, the Baltimore American and Commercial Advertiser reported: Some telegraph operators could continue to send and receive messages despite having disconnected their power supplies. Telegraph systems all over Europe and North America failed, in some cases giving telegraph operators electric shocks.

Д®stimates of the storm strength ( Dst) range from в€’0.80 ВµT to в€’1.75 ВµT. The aurora was visible from the poles to low latitude areas such as south-central Mexico, Queensland, Cuba, Hawaii, ДЄnd even at lower latitudes very close to the equator, such as in Colombia. People in the northeastern United States could read a newspaper by the aurora's light. were so bright that the glow woke gold miners, who began preparing breakfast because they thought it was morning. ДЄuroras were seen around the world, those in the northern hemisphere as far south as the Caribbean those over the Rocky Mountains in the U.S. On 1вЂ“2В September 1859, one of the largest geomagnetic storms (as recorded by ground-based magnetometers) occurred. Geomagnetic storm ДЄurora during a geomagnetic storm that was most likely caused by a coronal mass ejection from the Sun on 24В May 2010, taken from the ISS Worldwide reports on the effects of the geomagnetic storm of 1859 were compiled and published by American mathematician Elias Loomis, which support the observations of Carrington and Stewart. Stewart, and a geomagnetic storm observed the following day, Carrington suspected a solar-terrestrial connection. Observed in the Kew Observatory magnetometer record by Scottish physicist B.

Д«ecause of a geomagnetic solar flare effect (a 'magnetic crochet') Typical CMEs take several days to arrive at Earth, but it is believed that the relatively high speed of this CME was made possible by a prior CME, perhaps the cause of the large aurora event on 29В August that 'cleared the way' of ambient solar wind plasma for the Carrington event. The flare was associated with a major coronal mass ejection (CME) that travelled directly toward Earth, taking 17.6В hours to make the 150В million kilometer (93В million mile) journey. Д¬arrington and Hodgson compiled independent reports which were published side by side in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, and exhibited their drawings of the event at the NovemberВ 1859 meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Just before noon on 1В September, the English amateur astronomers Richard Christopher Carrington and Richard Hodgson independently recorded the earliest observations of a solar flare. On 29В August, southern auroras were observed as far north as Queensland, Australia. Bright and variable sky colours were observed in the evening on 28В August and subsequently reported in various newspapers in the New England area. Many sunspots appeared on the Sun from 28В August вЂ“ 2В September 1859. Just a few months before the solar maximum on 1860.1, during the 10th solar cycle, The solar storm of 2012, as photographed by STEREO, was a CME of comparable strength to the one which struck the Earth during the 1859 Carrington event.
