Carrington

YOUR WINDOW TO SPACE WEATHER Named after the Carrington Event of 1859—the most powerful solar storm in recorded history—this app helps you understand and monitor the space weather that shapes our technological world. That historic storm caused telegraph systems to spark and fail worldwide. Scientists estimate Carrington-class events occur roughly once every 100-150 years, meaning we're statistically overdue after 167 years. A similar event today could disrupt satellites, power grids, and communications globally. Whether you're a citizen scientist, space enthusiast, amateur radio operator, or aurora chaser, Carrington gives you the tools to participate in space weather science—not just observe it.
