Richard Carrington
Richard Carrington was a 19th-century British astronomer known for his observations of solar phenomena. He famously linked a solar flare to a geomagnetic storm on Earth in 1859, now referred to as the Carrington Event, which demonstrated the connection between solar activity and its effects on Earth's magnetic field, although it did not influence climate change.
