IRF launches a new app

Aurora Alert extends the reach of aurora observation

The app covers the aurora visible within a circle of approximately 2500 km in diameter, centered around IRF’s facilities in northern Sweden. The app is both a research tool and a service to the public. Researchers use it to collect data about the geographical distribution, intensity, and variability of the aurora and its connection to solar activity. Anyone can download the app for free and use it to track the aurora in real-time, plan aurora-viewing trips, and learn more about this fascinating phenomenon.

This is a major development that will allow people around the world to experience the aurora in a whole new way. With the Aurora Alert app, you can now track the aurora in real-time, plan aurora-viewing trips, and learn more about this fascinating phenomenon.
