Aurora Admin

Most people who miss the aurora do not miss it because it did not happen. They miss it because they were asleep, or looking at the wrong app, or trusting a number that never meant what they thought it meant.

Aurora Admin exists to close that gap. It watches over 50 live measurements of solar wind and geomagnetic activity around the clock, runs them through a proprietary forecasting model, and turns the result into one simple thing, a text message that reaches your phone when the odds are actually in your favor. No refreshing charts at 2am. No signal dead zones killing your only warning, since the alerts are built to get through even on weak reception, out where most chasers actually stand.

That forecast follows the aurora wherever it shows up. There's a northern lights forecast for Edmonton, where the platform got its start among a local community of chasers, and an aurora forecast for Iceland, where the lights draw travelers from every corner of the globe. Coverage extends across Alaska, deep in aurora country where the nights are long and the odds are usually good.

It works just as well pointed south. Aurora Admin tracks the southern lights forecast for Melbourne and the aurora australis forecast for Hobart, with dedicated coverage across Tasmania, one of the most reliable places on Earth to catch the southern lights. And that is only a slice of it, forecasts run across dozens of locations worldwide, wherever the Northern Lights or the Southern Lights are worth watching for.

Aurora Admin was built by an aurora chaser who got tired of guessing. It is run the same way today, for everyone else who is tired of guessing too.
