Carrington

REAL-TIME SPACE WEATHER & EARTH MONITORING

Named after the Carrington Event of 1859—the most powerful solar storm in recorded history. That event caused telegraph systems to spark and fail across the globe. Scientists estimate such extreme storms occur roughly once every 100-150 years, and it's been 167 years since the last one. Understanding space weather isn't just curiosity—it's preparation.

This citizen science app brings space weather data and research tools directly to your pocket. Track solar activity, monitor earthquakes, explore academic research, and join a community of fellow citizen scientists studying our dynamic planet and its connection to the Sun.
