Research / Object history

Behind the design

On 1 September 1859, while observing a group of sunspots from his private observatory at Redhill, Richard Carrington saw two patches of intensely bright light. His original drawing and published account anchor the garment. A major magnetic disturbance followed about seventeen hours later.
