There are times in human history where there was more intense "space weather" in the solar system. These events were much more spectacular -- is in a much greater spectacle -- than the most spectacular events we know today which are eclipses.

In more ancient history there was obsessive worship of the planets on every habitable continent. Today we have a more scientific explanation for what was happening then, even if we don't see the same spectacles today.
