In the not-so-distant past, the Earth was battered by much more extreme solar storms.
Evidence of these storms has come from analysing levels of radioactive carbon known as carbon-14 in tree rings.
The most extreme solar storm we have detected in the radiocarbon record took place around 14,370 years ago , towards the end of the last ice age .
We can’t yet forecast when it will happen, but new insights into the past tell us that there will be one sooner or later.
