About Solaris Alpha
The best aurora and solar flare app for Android - Solaris Alpha gives you features the others don't!
- REALTIME solar flare, geomagnetic storm, and aurora alerts!
- 3D ultraviolet sun maps, including REALTIME channel!
- 3D Earth map showing aurora, clouds and sunlight!
Be ready for space weather storms with Solaris Alpha, featuring realtime 3D views of Sun and Earth. Receive automatic solar flare, geomagnetic storm, and aurora alerts on your phone!
Solaris Alpha's 3D Sun view displays the latest xray flares and sunspots on our home star, at four extreme ultraviolet wavelengths. Effortlessly move around the Sun and zoom into interesting regions with a touch of your finger!
But there's more - this app also features a realtime 3D view of Earth's aurora, cloud-cover, and sunlight. Watch northern and southern lights, storms, and sunshine move across our planet - all in the palm of your hand!
The application uses data from NASA STEREO, SDO, and ACE spacecraft - downloaded from outer space to your phone. Solaris Alpha alerts you with a ringtone when new solar flares are detected, geomagnetic storm level increases, interplanetary magnetic field turns south, or when the aurora may be visible from your phone's location. If you are interested in solar astronomy and space weather, you need this app!
Please email me with suggested new features - many thanks to all of those who have already helped me improve Solaris Alpha!
The app's storm/aurora/flare detector automatically starts when your phone boots, and you will receive alerts whether or not SolarisAlpha is running (uncheck "Start detector at boot" from Solaris' "Settings" menu to disable auto-start on boot). PLEASE NOTE: Android does NOT support start-on-boot of apps stored on the SD card, so you must install SolarisAlpha on your phone to enable this feature.
Download the free Solaris Widget, which displays key data from www.spaceweather.com. Touching the widget automatically opens Solaris Alpha.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS - please email me at tclarkoreilly@gmail.com with a problem description rather than leaving a brief complaint in the market. Brief market comments usually do not provide enough detail to fix bugs, and I have no way of contacting you for more information unless I have your email address! Thanks!

It is good.... Good widget for detecting storms on desktop. Fun earth model. Kept me well informed, and entertained durring the recent solar storms.

I was really excited to get notifications on cool space stuff, but I was NOT excited to go into my photo gallery only to find it filled with pictures of the 3D earth map. Thanks, but no thanks. Glad I spent $1.99 to have my phone filled with junk.

Did a workaround till dev fixes it. Great app but with all the different versions of Android I can't blame the developer for the hell he catches trying to build for all types of phones.

It is really irritating to have this app saving pictures daily to my phone and I can find no way to disable this feature. I am about to disable the app just to get rid of that annoyance. Please make this optional!

There is no reason this sort of app needs access to my call history and other details. Once a fantastic app, lost to data whoring.

This is an important tool for me as an amateur astronomer and has been remarkable software. NOAA is the source of current problems, not this talented developer. I have had similar problems with NOAA regarding my own software - unannounced undocumented changes! With a little patience, I'm confident Solaris will continue to be a remarkable solar observation app.

From NASA'a website: spacecraft is in safe mode for the superior solar conjunction. Normal operations expected to resume July 2015. What a bummer.

I have used this app for years now, and it is hands down the best. Tried several others, but always end up sticking with this one. Everything you need is in this app!

I have depended on the pro version for both real-time information and alerts for several years and have used it to view every event from C up. The developer responded promptly to a change in data source with a revised version that works perfectly. This is a must-have for anyone interested in solar phenomena.

Great app for daily proximity and reverence checks to the Power of The "Son": I check the sun's influence on Earth's halo, then humbly check my halo to do more good works. Then I get happy and do the Solar Freeze. Have you heard about my new "Solar Freeze Dance"? Set up solar alerts; Then you freeze when the next major Solar Xray hits you! Then run like hell & find cover. Keep up the good work Tomasso!

People expect me to know the best apps to put on their phones & are always asking. This is one of my favourites to show them. Wonderful for anyone into space. Currently suffering from changes beyond the developer's control but bear with it.

I really like this app and the available links to other useful information for knowing what is happening at the moment with solar activity and Auroral Activity. Now, we just need somebody else to create a useful app for finding areas that are likely to not have too much light pollution.
