C H A P T E R   N ° 19 The 1972 Black Swan Event

 

 

Dear reader

In today’s article, we will explore the neglected 1972 ‘Black Swan’ space weather event.

 

We will look closer at what happened and how this storm highlights the critical space and terrestrial infrastructure’s vulnerability to similar space weather events. Additionally, we will discuss what caused the U.S. Navy to initiate a thorough investigation with personnel from the National Academy of Science, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), various U.S. Naval laboratories, and the Naval Post Graduate School.
