FEATURES

Built on real data,
not a guess.

Every dashboard below pulls from live satellite and ground-station feeds — the same sources aurora researchers use.

01 — Forecast

A forecast score that means something.

No raw Kp index to decode. Just a score adjusted for your latitude, and a plain-language call on what to actually do tonight.

  • Location-adjusted score, not a generic national number
  • Emoji-clear visibility tiers: eye, phone, or camera
  • One-line advice: "Go now", "Worth a look", or "Stay in"
  • Switch to Advanced View for the full data underneath
FORECAST SCORE — 62%
02 — Substorm prediction

Know it's coming, before it's overhead.

A physics-based model reads the magnetic field in real time to estimate the odds of a substorm — and roughly when.

  • Real-time likelihood percentage
  • Predicted time window, e.g. "0–30 minutes"
  • Clear next step: "Head outside or to a darker spot now"
  • 24-hour activity summary if you missed the last one
03 — Solar activity

The Sun's activity, tracked all week.

Seven days of X-ray and proton flux history, interplanetary shock alerts, and instant notifications for major flares.

  • 7-day X-ray and proton flux history
  • Kyoto Dst index for long-duration storm tracking
  • Interplanetary shock detection with solar wind conditions
  • Instant alerts for M5+ and X1+ class flares
04 — CME visualization

Watch a CME travel from the Sun to Earth.

An interactive 3D model — a world first — shows coronal mass ejections in transit, with official NASA, NOAA, and ESA forecast models layered in for comparison.

  • Interactive 3D view, scrub through time
  • Model individual CMEs from the event panel
  • Compare against WSA-ENLIL and HUXT official models
  • Export a labeled screenshot to share
05 — Sightings map

See what others are seeing, right now.

A live community map of aurora sightings across New Zealand — including honest reports of nothing visible, which matter just as much.

  • Real-time reports from naked eye, phone, and DSLR
  • "Nothing to see" reports help calibrate true visibility
  • Over 1,000 mapped locations across the country
LIVE SIGHTINGS — 14 REPORTS
06 — Notifications

Only hear about what you care about.

Configure exactly which alerts reach your phone — by score threshold, by flare class, or both.

  • Set your own aurora score threshold
  • Alerts for specific solar flare classes
  • Daily digest option instead of live pings
  • Built-in self-test tool if notifications ever go quiet
ALERT — SCORE ABOVE 50%
