Live planetary geomagnetic indices, solar wind conditions, auroral oval forecast, and ground-based magnetometers.

Please fill in the following form to add an observation of an aurora display. You can add as many observations as you like for recent events and for past events. To validate your observation it's ...

These charts resemble the progress of the solar cycle. The charts are updated every month by the SWPC with the latest ISES predictions. Observed values are initially temporary values that are replaced ...

The plot on this page shows us the most recent 24-hour solar X-ray data from the primary GOES satellite. You can zoom in on this plot by selecting a time period that you wish to view and export the ...

Shown below is the latest forecast of conditions in the solar wind, as predicted by the WSA-Enlil model. The solar wind is a fast-moving stream of charged particles emanating from the Sun and moving ...

For the first time since the Halloween Solar Storms of 2003 we have now officially reached the Extreme G5 geomagnetic storm threshold at 22:54 UTC. With an observed Dst at -348 this is now one of the ...

Solar activity has been relatively quiet for weeks now but that came to an abrupt end today as departing sunspot region 4086 which is now close to the west limb produced an X1.1 solar flare (R3-strong ...

The anticipated CME from the X7 solar flare has turned out to be a nothing-burger. There was no notable impact and aurora displays were confined mostly to arctic latitudes. However, the coronal mass ...

What is a solar eclipse? A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves exactly between the Earth and the Sun, blocking (part of) the sunlight. Because the Moon’s orbital plane is tilted by about five ...

Sunspot region 4366 has developed into a complex sunspot region with a magnetic Beta-Gamma-Delta layout. The region is impressive and has been producing strong solar flares today including two M5 ...

Camera's ready? The NOAA SWPC has issued a strong G3 geomagnetic storm watch in response to the possibe arrival of up to three coronal mass ejections. While we currently are in a high speed solar wind ...

Here she blows! Sunspot region 4274 produced its strongest solar flare thus far since it appeared on the east limb and the sixth strongest solar flare of the current solar cycle. An impressive long ...
