A free Android app that scores whether the northern lights are actually visible at your location tonight.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-20 issue.

For: Aurora watchers planning nighttime viewing trips
Worth noticing: The visibility score discounts NOAA's OVATION probability for both cloud cover and moonlight.

Field notes

The homepage exposes the scoring model rather than hiding it behind a single opaque forecast: NOAA's OVATION probability is reduced for cloud cover and moonlight, with a stated maximum moon-related trim of 30% near full moon. It also separates three live indicators—Kp, Bz, and solar-wind speed—and describes a distinct G4+ alert for unusually strong storms visible farther south. The app is presented as free, with Google Play as the download route.
