    It's been 166 years since scientists recorded the world's most powerful solar explosion. Izzie, Dr Becky and Dr Robert Massey are big fans of anniversaries, so they investigate how the Carrington Event affected the Earth - and why something similar today could be devastating.


    Thanks to Kate Bond from the Royal Astronomical Society and Daniel West from ESA's Vigil for joining us on this episode.
