In 1859, the sky turned blood-red, telegraph machines sparked and chattered, and some of their batteries exploded.

Then humanity responded by building a civilization that runs on electricity, satellites, GPS, internet cables, credit cards, and cellphone towers.

Ben Bradford investigates the Carrington Event — the massive solar storm that fried the technology of its time — and asks what would happen if something like it hit our much more wired world today.

Are modern power grids, satellites, and internet infrastructure any safer than an 1859 telegraph?

And if the sun does cough another piece of itself at us, is there anything we can actually do?
