Aurora Map

# 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](https://auroramap.app/): Live aurora map, KP index, aurora power, Bz magnetic field, CME monitor, moon phase, and location-based viewing context. - [Northern Lights Guide](https://auroramap.app/guide/northern-lights/): Scientific guide to when, where, and how to watch Aurora Borealis during Solar Cycle 25. - [Homepage Markdown](https://auroramap.app/index.md): Markdown version of the forecast dashboard summary. - [Northern Lights Guide Markdown](https://auroramap.app/guide/northern-lights.md): Markdown version of the aurora viewing guide. - [Full AI Context](https://auroramap.app/llms-full.txt): 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](https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/) for space-weather alerts, geomagnetic activity, and public forecast products. - [NOAA OVATION Aurora Model](https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-30-minute-forecast) for aurora probability maps. - [NOAA real-time solar wind products](https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/real-time-solar-wind) for solar wind and magnetic field context. - [Open-Meteo](https://open-meteo.com/) 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.
