Suggestion[edit]

What is now in the Elias Loomis article is some standard biographical information and references and a large amount on a geomagnetic storm. The latter information is so great that it overwhelms the article's main subject. Moreover, this interesting geophysical information is more-or-less buried, for the general reader, within this Wikipedia article on an obscure (in 2008) American astronomer. Should a new article be started on just the geomagnetic storm itself? - Astrochemist (talk) 13:06, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is plenty of discussion on this magnetic storm under "Solar Storm of 1859". Spatial 58.156.153.194 (talk) 23:46, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Carrington event and book by Reid[edit]

Contrary to the content of this article, the book about the telegraph system in the United States is available online. I did a search of an online version and could not find any mention of events that might be related to the August and September 1859 superstorms. Perhaps someone else has some information on this or a correction to my findings?
