Keeping track of aurora forecasts, notifications, and community reports.

Did you see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) visibility from last week if you were on that area? If you missed it and want to know more then there are some places where you can get reliable information: 1. Aurora Forecast Websites: Websites like the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), Aurora Service, and the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute provide forecasts and updates on Aurora Borealis activity and visibility in different regions. 2. Mobile Apps: There are several mobile apps available for both iOS and Android devices that offer real-time updates, notifications, and forecasts for the Northern Lights. Examples include My Aurora Forecast & Alerts, Aurora Alerts, and Aurora Watch. 3. Social Media: Platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook have dedicated Aurora Borealis enthusiast groups, pages, and accounts that share updates, photos, and sightings. Following these accounts can keep you informed about recent Northern Lights activity. 4. Astronomy

Chandra detection of diskless young stars

Stars frequently form in crowded environments. By combining the resources of multi-wavelength missions like Chandra in the X-ray and Spitzer in the infrared, astronomers are able to resolve ambiguities and assemble a much more complete census of cluster content and the individual properties of the population. A case in point is the development of disks (possibly protoplanetary) around new stars. Disks form along with the new star and then evolve over a few million years before dissipating, perhaps leaving planets behind, and in clustered environments their development can be influenced by interactions with neighbors.
