Evidence of the most powerful solar storm in history has been uncovered in an unlikely place: within the rings of a tree.
This immensely powerful solar storm is thought to have been at least 10 times as powerful as the Carrington Event of 1859, which caused chaos in the rudimentary telegraph system of the time.
The researchers found a strange spike in radiocarbon within the rings of subfossilized trees dating to around 14,300 years ago.
"Fusa Miyake discovered a sudden and unexpected spike in radiocarbon levels in a Japanese tree from 774 AD. Initially, this was thought to have been caused by a supernova, but after more study, it was instead identified as being due to a huge solar storm on the sun," Heaton said.
"Such extreme storms would throw out huge volumes of highly energetic particles from the sun. These energetic solar particles would have entered our atmosphere, leading to a sudden spike in radiocarbon production. Our storm is another Miyake event—but the largest that has ever been identified."
The radiocarbon spike in the tree rings was found to line up with patterns in beryllium levels in Greenland ice cores, indicating that the spike was caused by a huge solar storm.
"The fact that the 14,300-year event was supported by both the radiocarbon and the beryllium-10 indicated that the massive production spike we found was genuine (and not noise). It also supported the solar origin of the event— i.e., a massive solar storm considerably bigger than any previously identified."
Solar storms like this one and the Carrington Event are caused by solar flares, which are ejections of powerful X-rays from the sun.

All this blathering about global warming — we’d be absolutely helpless if a strong solar storm came our way. Would likely wipe out half of humanity. And the more affluent the society, the more vulnerable they would be.
No wonder my truck radio has been weird lately.
🇮🇱👍
Alright, break it down. How many tax dollars are needed to prevent the next one, and how many years do we have left?
OBVIOUSLY due to man-made climate change!!!
Oh, wait...

Additionally, I'd never considered a CME as an explanation for ancient texts.
Which of those pics would you describe in drawings/carvings as serpents? It could also explain the reverence of the Sun by early cultures around the world.
It's refreshing to experience good, hard science.
Bottom pic would make an awesome poster.
But we cause global (cough, cough) warming?
Couldn’t be something to do with the sun?????????
Gov’t can’t control the sun, but can control us!
Actually, you’re absolutely right. Forest through the trees.
My cousin paints murals.
When I was a kid, I’d have been thrilled to have that on a wall.
I’m going to forward it to her.
From the article:
“In that strongest ever Carrington Event there were reports of telegraph lines sparking with the voltages induced in them,” Alan Woodward, a professor of computer science and space weather expert at England’s University of Surrey, previously told Newsweek”.
The telephone was invented in 1926?
The telegraph was invented in 1844 and the telephone was patented in 1876.
“Which of those pics would you describe in drawings/carvings as serpents?”
But keep in mind you are joining both science and spirituality together here with that.
The Norse did the same with the Milky Way across the sky.

So this was the event that destroyed early power stations, cell phones, etc., sending us into the dark ages.
No one mentioned this.
“This immensely powerful solar storm is thought to have been at least 10 times as powerful as the Carrington Event of 1859”
I don’t understand how a tree from 774 AD gives warning as one from 14,300 years ago. Also is there any evidense from Clovis material that the older event had human impact?
As will the Charlemagne event samples, beryllium-10 was found in the 14,300 year old tree ring.
Yes, but nothing like seeing them first person.
The ones I saw while on an amphibious deployment to northern Norway in February 1981 filled the night sky above the fjords. Also the “dragons” are not static; they wriggle and dance, appear, disappear, and reappear transformed.
