I am not an expert, but it’s worth noting that the kp index has a maximum value of 9. So though the Carrington event had a kp of 9, its intensity on the related (but not capped) HP30/HP60 scale [1] would likely have been higher. [1] https://kp.gfz.de/en/hp30-hp60

Queue Chernobyl documentary clip measuring the radiation as low because that’s as high the meter went

Meant the first and people should do the second, Chernobyl on HBO is great.

It’s also technically not a documentary but historical drama.

Everything about these miniseries was wonderful.

Casting (who played who), acting, costumes and scenography (where did they get all these '80 soviet cars), and choice of scenes to film.

I had my hair rising when the guy cleaning roof of a building neighboring the reactor got stuck in deadly radiation zone for 4x the allowed 13 seconds. "You're dead comrade."

kp 9 - not great, not terrible
