Description

YOUR WINDOW TO SPACE WEATHER Named after the Carrington Event of 1859—the most powerful solar storm in recorded history—this app helps you understand and monitor the space weather that shapes our technological world. That historic storm caused telegraph systems to spark and fail worldwide. Scientists estimate Carrington-class events occur roughly once every 100-150 years, meaning we're statistically overdue after 167 years. A similar event today could disrupt satellites, power grids, and communications globally. Whether you're a citizen scientist, space enthusiast, amateur radio operator, or aurora chaser, Carrington gives you the tools to participate in space weather science—not just observe it. REAL-TIME SPACE WEATHER • KP Index: Track geomagnetic storm levels with 1-minute and 3-hour updates • X-ray Flux: Monitor solar flare activity (B, C, M, X class) • Solar Wind: Live speed, density, and magnetic field data • Particle Flux: Proton and electron radiation levels • Radio Blackout: HF propagation conditions EARTH MONITORING • Earthquakes: Multi-source aggregation • Volcanoes: Global volcanic activity tracking • Aurora Forecasts: OVATION model with visibility predictions • TEC & DRAP: Ionospheric conditions for radio enthusiasts INTERACTIVE VISUALIZATIONS • Dashboard: At-a-glance gauges for all critical metrics • BLOT Map: Earthquakes, volcanoes, aurora, wind, pressure & more layers coming • 3D Planet Map: Explore the solar system with real orbital data • 46 Solar Video Streams • 3 ENLIL Models: solar wind propagation forecasts SMART ALERTS — 28 ALERT TYPES • Push notifications for space weather events • KP index, X-ray flares, proton storms, radio blackouts, and more • Earthquake, volcano, and cosmic ray notifications • Location-based alerts for aurora visibility and nearby seismic events • Community alerts from fellow observers worldwide CITIZEN SCIENCE & RESEARCH • Built for citizen scientists—not just passive observers • Academic paper discovery from arXiv, OpenAlex, and more • Topics: heliophysics, geomagnetic storms, ionospheric science, seismology • Citizen scientist review: discuss and evaluate research with the community • Historical data archive for your own analysis • Collaboration features coming soon for citizen science projects SUBSCRIPTION TIERS • Observer (Free): Essential features with ads • Pioneer: Ad-free experience with expanded alerts • Voyager: Full charts, 3D maps, and advanced features • Commander: Complete access including location alerts and research tools Join thousands of citizen scientists watching the skies with Carrington.
