Solar Storm 1859 - (Carrington Event)

The solar storm is one of the significant events in world history. The solar storm is origin from the sun which releases the enormous amount of energy towards the earth frequently, these storms may affect our earth magnetic field cause heavy damages on our current communication system and expose huge Arora in the sky all over the world.



During Sep 1 and 2, 1859, Solar storm hits the earth with huge energy which affects the telecommunication system and electric grids like the telegraph and wired communication. Few events were remarkable, telegraphs sent messages automatically, most of them were not worked properly and telegraph papers where burned. This caused heavy damages in the western economy, and the Arora creates panic among the people.

According to NASA scientists Dr. Alex Young " these solar flares happening every day in the sky, our atmosphere is too thick as well as our earth magnetic field is soo strong and it can able to protect any kind of radiation from the sun. But also we consider these issues and studying the Solar flare 24x7. if we face heavy storm may cause drastic damage in our communication system".

Through this investigation, Copernicus proved the earth is not a center of the universe. It was considered as a first starting point of scientific revolution and development of modern astronomy. In 1543, before his death, he published a book called “On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres” which clearly described the scientific investigations about the center of the universe.

His works are often referred to as the “Copernican Revolution” in the history of science. Later, great astronomers Johann Kepler and Galilieo Galilee developed the Copernicus heliocentric model which made controversy and objections in the Catholic Church as well as it made a great revolution in astronomy.

Later the moons were called “Galilean Moons” to honor his work and also Galileo analysis the sunspots in the sun (black dots in sun).

Galileo has been called as “Father of Modern Science”, Father of Science”, Father of Modern Physics” and “Father of Modern Observational astronomy”.

 

Stephen Hawking says, "Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science."

Galileo invents an improved Military compass and other instruments using applied science and technology.  Galileo supported Nicolaus Copernicus view about Heliocentrism.
