Nice, I dunno about too big. Looks like a sweet watch to me.

Nope, not at all. Uninstalled weeks ago. Actively avoid in search results. Had been subconsciously looking to move on for a long time. See ya later, better things to do and places to be.

Awesome, thanks for the post! I’ve been aware of OSM for a long time, but haven’t thought about it in a while. After a couple of good app recommendations from the comments, I am surprised how far it’s come. Definitely going to start using/contributing as much as I can.

Yeah, totally - the longitude doesn’t really matter, it’s the latitude that’s important. Auroras usually occur between 10 and 20 degrees from the geomagnetic pole. This does bias North America and Greenland a bit, since the geomagnetic pole is shifted toward Canada relative to the geographic north pole. But, if you take a look at the University of Alaska link I posted, they do publish forecast maps for Europe and the north and south poles as well as the US.

Me too! Happened to see it in Connecticut when I was a teenager, totally took me by surprise. Space weather apps were definitely not a thing at the time.
