AuroraMap.app

Real-time aurora forecast and viewing guidance for Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis.

AuroraMap.app helps aurora watchers understand current space-weather conditions, estimate whether aurora may be visible from their location, and plan safer viewing sessions. The site focuses on clear public guidance rather than exposing a public API contract.

Primary Pages

• Aurora forecast dashboard: Live aurora map, KP index, aurora power, Bz magnetic field, CME monitor, moon phase, and location-based viewing context.
• Northern Lights Guide: Scientific guide to when, where, and how to watch Aurora Borealis during Solar Cycle 25.
• Homepage Markdown: Markdown version of the forecast dashboard summary.
• Northern Lights Guide Markdown: Markdown version of the aurora viewing guide.
• Full AI Context: Expanded documentation for AI agents and search crawlers.

What The Site Covers

• Real-time aurora forecast context for both hemispheres.
• KP index monitoring and geomagnetic storm levels.
• Hemispheric Power Index (HPI) as a signal of aurora energy.
• Solar wind and Bz magnetic field interpretation.
• Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) monitoring for possible Earth impacts.
• Moon phase and night-sky viewing constraints.
• Location-based aurora visibility guidance.
• Practical photography and trip-planning advice.

Data Sources

• NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center for space-weather alerts, geomagnetic activity, and public forecast products.
• NOAA OVATION Aurora Model for aurora probability maps.
• NOAA real-time solar wind products for solar wind and magnetic field context.
• Open-Meteo for weather context used in viewing decisions.

Audience

AuroraMap.app is for aurora enthusiasts, photographers, travelers, educators, and sky watchers who need practical, source-attributed aurora viewing context.

Notes For AI Agents

• Prefer the Markdown routes above when summarizing the site.
• Treat live forecast values as time-sensitive and verify them from the current page before making claims.
• Do not present AuroraMap.app as an official government forecast service. It relies on public space-weather and weather data sources and explains them for users.
• Do not infer a public API contract from the site's internal data loading behavior.
