Solar Wind Speed
Speeds over 500 km/s indicate a fast-moving storm capable of sparking bright colors.
Telemetry: DSCOVR Spacecraft / ACE
Proton Density
Plain English: how 'thick' the solar wind is. Denser wind hits Earth harder.
Telemetry: DSCOVR Spacecraft / ACE
IMF Bt
Measures the total strength of the solar magnetic field carried by the solar wind.
Telemetry: DSCOVR Spacecraft / ACE
IMF Bz
Negative values mean Earth's magnetic shield is open to let the solar storm in.
Telemetry: DSCOVR Spacecraft / ACE
IMF Total (Bt)
Plain English: overall strength of the solar magnetic field arriving at Earth. Bigger = more aurora potential.

🔍 Forecast Analytics & Empirical Reasoning
Solar flares can disrupt GPS accuracy, satellite links, and HF radio. X-class events cause the biggest blackouts; M-class may briefly degrade navigation.

Advanced Imagery
Specialized satellite & instrument feeds
Specialized satellite and instrument feeds used by real space weather forecasters, plain -English explained. Two feeds below embed live directly from NOAA/NASA; two link out to their official pages since this app doesn't have a confirmed direct image URL for them.
GOES SUVI — Solar Corona (195Å)
An ultraviolet view of the Sun's outer atmosphere (the corona), from a NOAA GOES satellite. Bright, glowing regions mark active areas and can reveal flares and eruptions as they happen.
ACE EPAM — Particle Monitor (24h)
Tracks electrons, protons, and alpha particles streaming from the Sun, measured by the ACE spacecraft. Sharp spikes often mean a solar eruption's particles have reached the L1 monitoring point, sometimes hours before the main event arrives at Earth.
GONG Farside Helioseismology
Uses sound waves rippling through the Sun to 'see' active regions on the far side, hidden from direct view — a genuine early-warning tool for regions about to rotate into view.
STEREO — Off-Axis Solar View
NASA's STEREO spacecraft views the Sun from a different angle than Earth, helping track coronal mass ejections in 3D and see activity before it rotates toward Earth.
