The aurora and solar activity archive

Why can't i see the archive?

Our archive is being abused by machine learning bots to feed artificial intelligence and is taking down our servers by causing long page loads and crashes. To prevent downtime due to the abuse of machine learning bots we had to take extreme measures by taking the archive down and make it only accessible through the SpaceWeatherLive app or SpaceWeatherLive Pro (and Pro Light) users.

How to regain access to the archive?

  • SpaceWeatherLive app for Android/iOS
  • Subscribe to SpaceWeatherLive Pro or Pro Light and find the Archive on our Pro site
