## What is Aurora Northern Lights?

Aurora Northern Lights gives you a clear, no-nonsense aurora forecast so you never miss the show.

• Live KP-index and aurora activity, updated continuously
• Visibility forecast for your exact location
• Alerts when aurora chances spike
• Where-to-look guide (direction + best time)
• Camera-settings cheat sheet for shooting the aurora
• Clean, dark-sky-friendly design

No account, no clutter. Just open it and know whether tonight is worth heading out.

Aurora data is provided for guidance and depends on weather, darkness, and solar activity.

HOW YOU'D USE IT
Check the KP reading and the visibility forecast for your spot before you commit to a drive. If the chance is low, the alert will wake you when it spikes. Once you are out there, the where-to-look guide points you at the right part of the sky and the camera cheat sheet gets you a usable exposure on the first try instead of the tenth.

Built for aurora chasers in Iceland, Tromso, Alaska and anywhere else the lights reach — and for anyone who just wants to know whether tonight is the night.
