Common Questions
Is there a solar storm happening right now?
The live answer at the top of this page updates continuously: QUIET means no, elevated means watch conditions, and G1–G5 means a storm is in progress, scaled by severity.
What does a solar storm do?
Geomagnetic storms can disrupt satellites, GPS accuracy, HF radio, and — in severe cases — power grids, while pushing aurora to unusually low latitudes. Most storms (G1–G2) pass with aurora as the only visible effect.
How long do solar storms last?
Typically hours to a day or two. CME-driven storms hit hard and decay over 24–48 hours; storms from coronal-hole wind streams can simmer for several days.
Get Storm & CME Alerts
NOAA and NASA publish the numbers. They don't tell you. The moment a geomagnetic storm, a major flare, or an Earth-directed CME is confirmed, we'll email you — no refreshing this page, no scanning raw feeds.
This is the general grid alert — the same one everyone gets. Reading it against your commissioning schematic is what the Planetary Logic Controller does.
Signing up puts you on our list — that's the deal: we watch the sky, you hear from us by email. Unsubscribe any time, but it turns off everything, alerts included.
Full accounts get the richer channel: push notifications, in-app alerts, and email — all tied to the same PLC dashboard.
