CARRINGTON, WATCH THE FORCES THAT MOVE THE WORLD In 1859, a solar storm set telegraph wires sparking across the planet. We call it the Carrington Event. Back then, only the telegraph was wired. Today, everything is, satellites, power grids, GPS, the device in your hand. It happened before. It will happen again. The only question is whether you'll be watching. Carrington puts the planet's biggest natural forces on one live screen: space weather, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and the health of the oceans. Most apps give you a single window. We show you the whole system, the real-time data, the open science, and the connections the standard models keep in separate boxes. Then we let you decide for yourself. SPACE WEATHER, LIVE . KP index & geomagnetic storms, 1-minute and 3-hour updates . X-ray flux, solar flare activity (B, C, M, X class) . Solar wind from L1, RTSW, ACE, SOLAR-1, DSCOVR streams . Proton & electron flux, F10.7, sunspots, magnetometer, cosmic rays . TEC, DRAP & geoelectric fields for radio and grid conditions EARTH & HAZARD MONITORING . Earthquakes, live global, multi-source . Volcanoes, activity plus stratospheric-injection tracking . Tsunamis, warnings and DART buoy data . Aurora, OVATION forecasts with visibility . Ocean health (AMOC), Atlantic circulation, watched in real time FORECAST LAB, EXPERIMENTAL EARTHQUAKE FORECASTING Carrington's own research models, shown openly as map heatmaps and a daily global quake-likelihood gauge. ETAS aftershock clustering, medium-term build-up, deep-quake watch zones, and ionospheric anomaly overlays, clearly labeled for what they are, including when a signal doesn't hold up. We forecast probabilistically and show our work. We do not claim to predict earthquakes. INTERACTIVE MAPS & VISUALS . Blot Map, 60+ toggleable 2D/3D layers: quakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, plate boundaries, aurora, wind, ocean, magnetic field & more . 3D Planet Map, explore the solar system with real orbital data . 80+ live solar video streams (SDO, GOES, SOHO) . ENLIL & HUXt solar-wind models from NOAA, NASA & the UK Met Office SMART ALERTS . 33 space-weather alert types, flares, KP, proton & radio storms, NOAA watches and more . Plus earthquake, volcano, tsunami, cosmic-ray and ocean alerts . Location-based alerts for nearby quakes, aurora tonight, and hazards near you . The earliest possible heads-up with L1 solar-wind early warning OPEN SCIENCE, NOT SETTLED SCIENCE Carrington is built for people who'd rather see the data than be told a story. Read the research papers behind every focus area, follow the live debate, and join a community that reviews the science. We show you the hypotheses, the evidence, and the honest results, and let you watch the Sun-Earth connection unfold yourself. PLANS . Free, the full live monitor, ad-supported . Basic, everything Free, ad-free . Advanced, every alert, full data screens, deep history, analysis tools & advanced map layers . Premium, location alerts, L1 early warning, the full ~125-year quake archive, premium map layers & the complete research toolset Available in 7 languages.
