About NASA Space Weather
This app is currently not working correctly. We are working on an update to fix the issue. Please check back periodically to download a working version of this app once we have implemented the change.
The NASA Space Weather App provides access to space environment information from the sun to the earth, giving users a look at complex physical processes as they evolve, and how these processes affect the near earth space environment. Enormous explosions of gas and charged particles from the sun, known as Coronal Mass Ejections or CMEs, can be viewed on the NASA Space Weather App minutes after an eruption has been observed from satellites like the joint European Space Agency and NASA mission Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), NASA’s Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO), as well as NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory ( SDO ). The potential effects of such solar storms can also be viewed by accessing one of the many space weather model data products that use observational data to forecast potentially hazardous space environment effects. The Community Coordinated Modeling Center at NASA GSFC operates the largest collection of real- time space weather models in the community, and provides direct access to these real-time space weather simulation results through the NASA Space Weather App. In addition to the NASA provided observational and simulation data products, the NASA Space Weather App also utilizes external space weather resources from a host of collaborators such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and their Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES).
All data products (cygnets) in the NASA Space Weather application are user selectable, allowing customized display configurations that include only the cygnets of interest to each user. NASA Space Weather App has a catalog of over 200 unique space weather analysis data cygnets ranging from the solar domain all the way to the earth’s ionosphere. A new History Mode allows users to view and animate historical data for each of the cygnets.
Development of the iSWA (Integrated Space Weather Analysis) system and the NASA Space Weather Android App has been a joint activity between the Office of the Chief Engineer at NASA Headquarters and the Applied Engineering and Technology Directorate and the Science and Exploration Directorate at NASA Goddard. The iSWA system is located at NASA Goddard.
The Community Coordinated Modeling Center is funded by the Heliophysics Division in the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters, and the National Science Foundation.

Used to be the best app for seeing what the sun looks like in H-alpha and I've used the info for observing when to go out and image spots and prominences. Stopped working in the fall 2016 and been dead ever since. Please fix the app, it can't take this long. As said, used to be the best, now the worst.

App doesn't work. Apparently you fixed an app that worked at one point, and improved it so it doesn't work. That's bass ackwords if you ask me. Uninstalled one minute after I installed it.

Doesn't work. None of the "cygnets" will update. If you delete them and attempt to add them back, it complains of a poor internet connection.

I this is the app to have for watching our star. Images are updated often, and the history function allows for viewing recent timelapse movies. Love the app!

Nice app but I'd like to see some explanatory text available for each Cygnet to help understand exactly what we are seeing and why it is important. Perhaps in the form of hyperlinks from the bits of different text which appears in the Cygnet.

Lots of pretty pictures not much info. I was looking for an app that could keep me up to date with solar weather that effects earth. Especially electrical effects as I am an engineer. While this app likely provides this info. I can't understand any of it. A few simple graphs is what I need. Showing X-ray, flare, magnetic etc etc readings over various time frames from hours to months. With optional push notification for anything over a value of my choice.

This used to be one of my favourite apps, but it stopped updating many of the views over the past 8 or 9 months. I can no longer use this to decide when it's worthwhile setting up a solar scope which it used to be fantastic for. Such a shame, it should really be a 5* review :-
