About Space Weather - Solar and Geophysical Activity
Although we’re at a minimum in the 11 year sunspot cycle, solar flares can still occur at any time. They disrupt wireless communications, damage satellites, and affect terrestrial power grids resulting in blackouts, cell phone dropouts and much more. They’re also responsible for the dramatic displays of the northern and southern lights which accompany these solar storms.

View both northern and southern hemisphere auroral activity displays and be aware of when peak observation times occur. Monitor real-time solar wind data (magnetic field, speed and pressure) measured by the ACE satellite. See sunspots on the sun’s surface and stay informed about space weather with the latest solar and geophysical data on iPhone or iPod Touch.

What’s New in this Version
- Newly added NOAA Space Weather Scales which use numbered levels denoting event severities for geomagnetic storms, solar radiation storms and radio blackouts.
