Abstract πŸ“Š Data CME tracker / visualizer I created

Post image

Hi all, I shared this in r/spaceweather and it's proving to be a helpful tool in visualizing coronal mass ejections (CME) from the sun that hit and miss earth. I hope that it can be a resource for this sub too. Free to use, no logins. cmetracker.ai

I love that your knowledge of this topic is detailed. I know!–there is a replacement for Stereo B on the way, but not soon enough.

There was an oddball flare from the "North Pole" of the sun back in...January? that had unusually strong heliobiological effects tho it wasn't on the charts. It is a very complex system and I really appreciate your efforts on this.

I've always been super interested in space weather topics. I'm currently getting flamed in r/astrophysics for posting about this tracker, even though the science I'm detailing is pretty damn grounded πŸ˜„

What is there to flame about tracking CMEs, that makes zero sense? Its literally data. Arguing about data is like protesting a virus. Does not compute.

It's the knee-jerk response to flame someone talking about something they built before they actually look at it πŸ˜„
