The scale seems capped at a pretty low upper end? It feels like with all the mindbogglingly huge numbers usually involved when talking about space, there must be much, much worse events possible. Is it just that we don't know enough about them due to lack of experience that these aren't included?

But having been in 1859 we only have estimates on what the consequences would be in the modern world. But pretty grim at the looks of it.
