• Forecasting for geomagnetic and radiation storms
• Aurora map detailing location and intensity of polar lights
• Coronal Mass Ejections animation and live export options
• Exclusive frame-by-frame time control for Sun, Aurora, and Coronagraph animations

The app also showcases stunning real-time UV images of the Sun, with unique perspectives such as:

• Hot Flares: Intense solar flare activity
• Solar Corona: The Sun's outer atmosphere in detail
• Active Regions: Areas of significant magnetic activity
• Transition Zone: The dynamic layer of the solar atmosphere
• Chromosphere: The Sun's vivid middle atmosphere
• Surface details: Intricate patterns on the solar surface

Real-Time Space Weather Data:

• Current monitoring of geomagnetic storm levels, solar radiation, and radio blackout impacts
• A reliable 3-day solar forecast for planning purposes based on accurate predictions of solar activity
• An educational resource regarding the Sun's influence on Earth and space technology
• An intuitive comparison feature for current Kp index values versus forecasts
• Customizable notifications tailored to your interests in various types of solar activity

LASCO Coronagraph Views:

• Select between LASCO C2 (2-6 solar radii) or C3 (3.7-30 solar radii) views to observe detailed solar corona activity.
• The ability to animate recent LASCO imagery for a clearer understanding of solar events over time.

Aurora Borealis Tracking:

• Select between Northern (Aurora Borealis) and Southern (Aurora Australis) regions.
• Monitor aurora intensity and coverage trends.
• Aurora visibility predictions based on present solar activity for the upcoming hour.
• A notification system to alert users of significant auroral activity expected in their area.

This application is designed not only for space enthusiasts and amateur astronomers but also for anyone intrigued by solar phenomena. Solar Weather effectively delivers professional-grade solar data in an accessible format, making it user-friendly.

The new notification system ensures you are always informed about critical events such as solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and geomagnetic storms that may affect satellites, power grids, and radio communications. Users can customize their notifications by selecting the types of events they wish to track and setting minimum alert levels according to their preferences.

This robust solar activity tracker leverages data from multiple sources, offering users an up-to-date perspective on the Sun’s behavior and its implications for Earth.
