The Sun is shouting.
AuroraLens listens.

Real-time solar-storm + seismic operations on a living 3D planet — deterministic risk scores, hash-chained audit seals, and an MCP tool interface coding agents can call. Zero API keys.

Two planetary feeds, one normalized stream

NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center and the USGS earthquake feed, polled through cached API routes with sealed offline fallbacks — the demo never goes dark.

02 — Engine

One deterministic score, fully itemized

No black boxes: six weighted factors turn Kp, solar wind, Bz, flares, alerts and seismic context into a 0–100 score. The same function powers this page, the REST API and every MCP tool.

16.8Quiet

Planetary K-indexKp 0.00 · 0 × 0.3

Kp 0-9 linearly scaled. Kp≥5 is NOAA G1 storm threshold.

Solar wind speed367 km/s · 13.3 × 0.2

300 km/s = calm baseline, 800 km/s = extreme driver.

IMF Bz (southward)Bz -0.6 nT · 3.1 × 0.2

Southward Bz (negative) reconnects with Earth's field. -20 nT = full points.

Strongest flareB6.8 · 14 × 0.15

GOES X-ray class: A/B background, C minor, M radio-blackout risk, X extreme.

Active SWPC alerts10 active · 100 × 0.1

Count of live NOAA watches/warnings, capped at 10.

Seismic contextM5.5 max · 28.6 × 0.05

Largest M4.5+ quake in 24h. Context only — quakes do not cause storms.

03 — Planet

The whole storm, on one globe

USGS quakes as glowing points, storm-impact arcs and pulsing auroral-oval rings on a night-earth globe. Drag to take over — it resumes its watch when you let go.

05 — Integrity

Every score is sealed, every seal replays

Each assessment carries SHA-384(prevSeal ‖ canonicalJson) — a hash chain anchored to a daily genesis. Replay any record through /api/verify.
