Solaris Widget

Enjoy millions of the latest Android apps, games, music, movies, TV, books, magazines & more. Anytime, anywhere, across your devices.

This simple widget displays solar and geomagnetic data from www.spaceweather.com on your home screen. Many thanks to the folks at www.spaceweather.com for making this data available! Tap the widget to open the Solaris Alpha application, www.spaceweather.com, or the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center home page for more information.

When you install the widget onto your phone's home screen, a configuration dialog allows you to select what happens when you tap the widget. To change this preference, remove the widget from the home screen and then add it back to the home screen.

Widget icons and labels indicate the following:

- The power of the strongest solar flare in the past 24 hours

- Current sunspot number

- Current 10.7 cm solar flux, in sfu (solar flux units)

- Current 3-hour average planetary Kp index (probability of aurora increases with Kp index)

- Btotal and Bz interplanetary magnetic field in nano-teslas (probability of aurora increases with south-facing Bz)

These values are updated every thirty minutes.

Please email me if you encounter problems, or with suggestions to improve the widget - thanks!
