🌞 Why now — Solar Maximum 2026

Solar Cycle 25 officially peaked in 2024–2025, but 2026 is still inside the maximum: elevated auroras, frequent Kp5+ storms, M/X-class flares. Statistically, the declining phase right after maximum is when some of the largest individual storms in history struck — including the 1859 Carrington Event.

The same storms that paint the sky can:

  • ⚡ trip power-grid protection (G4–G5)

  • 🛰️ spike satellite drag (Starlink lost ~40 sats to one storm in 2022)

  • 📡 degrade GPS and black out HF radio within minutes of an X-flare

  • ✈️ reroute polar flights and disrupt migratory navigation

HELIOS PULSE turns raw NOAA/USGS firehoses into one beautiful screen anyone can read in 10 seconds — and an API any agent can use in 10 lines.

✨ What you get

🌍 3D living globe

cobe WebGL Earth — glow shifts indigo → magenta with storm level, orange pulses mark live M4.5+ quakes

🔴 Live gauges

Kp index · solar-wind speed · IMF Bz · X-ray flare class · grid-stress score (NOAA SWPC, 60s cache)

📈 Storm tapes

2-hour Kp / wind / Bz sparklines + GOES X-ray flux + active NOAA alerts ticker

🌌 Aurora oracle

Enter any latitude → 0–100 visibility verdict + tonight's plan (22:00–02:00 field protocol)

🌍 Quake feed

USGS M4.5+ last 72h with depth/tsunami flags — shown with an honest no-causation note

🤖 HELIOS Oracle

Physics-engine briefings in plain English; auto-upgrades to LLM when OPENAI_API_KEY is set

🧩 REST + MCP

/api/space-weather · /api/earthquakes · /api/oracle · /api/mcp — point your agent at it

🤖 HELIOS Oracle

curl -X POST https://helios-pulse.vercel.app/api/oracle \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"question":"Can I see aurora at 52.5° tonight?","kp":5.2,"wind":610,"bz":-12,"lat":52.5}'

🧩 MCP / agent tools

curl https://helios-pulse.vercel.app/api/mcp   # manifest + JSON schemas

Tools: helios.space_weather · helios.aurora_verdict · helios.quakes · helios.ask_oracle. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw — anything that speaks JSON over HTTPS.

curl -X POST https://helios-pulse.vercel.app/api/mcp \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"tool":"helios.space_weather"}'

🛰️ Data sources (all keyless, all open)

  • NOAA SWPCplanetary_k_index_1m, GOES X-ray 6h, solar-wind plasma + mag 2h, alerts

  • USGS — FDSN earthquake catalog M4.5+ / 72h

  • Proxied + edge-cached by Next.js routes (/api/*) so the UI never CORS-fails and never hammers upstream

⌨️ Run locally

git clone https://github.com/aniruddhaadak80/helios-pulse.git
cd helios-pulse
npm install
npm run dev        # → http://localhost:3000

Optional LLM upgrade:

🗺️ Roadmap

  • OVATION-style auroral-oval overlay on a 2D night map

  • NASA DONKI CME/flare timeline cards

  • Push alerts (WebPush) for Kp ≥ 6 at your latitude

  • PWA offline + shareable aurora-verdict OG cards

  • Crowd aurora sightings layer

PRs welcome — see CONTRIBUTING.md. Good first issues: aurora-map, donki-timeline, webpush.

⚠️ Honest science

  • For life-safety decisions always follow NOAA SWPC + local authorities — HELIOS is an educational lens, not an official alert feed.

  • Decades of research find no reliable causal link between solar storms and earthquakes; we display both so you can watch, not to imply causation.
