Miyake Event

A category of extreme solar radiation burst identified through sudden carbon-14 spikes preserved in tree rings, estimated to be roughly 10 to 100 times more energetic than the Carrington Event, recurring on the order of once per millennium.

Events

  • Miyake Event is frequently compared to Carrington Event — Miyake events, identified via tree-ring carbon-14 spikes, are estimated at roughly 10 to 100 times the Carrington Event's intensity, though they recur far less often.

  • Miyake Event is frequently compared to May 2024 Solar Storm (Gannon Storm) — Three points on the same solar-storm intensity scale: a strong recent storm, the historical Carrington benchmark, and millennial-scale Miyake extremes.
