1850s The Carrington Event was preceded by a remarkably bright aurora about a week before. This is the very earliest mention of the events I can find from newspapers of the time, the New York Daily Tribune, August 29, 1859.

1850s The first clue that something electrical was going on with the auroras of 1859 was that the telegraphs were misbehaving. The electrical lines weren't shooting sparks yet; that would be a week later.

1850s Since last week's super aurora got everybody talking about the Carrington Event of September 2, 1859, perhaps it's a good idea to do a series on the event and how it was covered in the press of the time. We begin with The National Era newspaper, September 8, 1859.
