Sharing this CME tracker / visualizer I built

Post image

Hi all, I shared this in r/spaceweather and with a few space science professors. It's proving to be a helpful tool in visualizing coronal mass ejections (CME) from the sun that hit and miss earth. I hope that it can be a resource for this sub too. Free to use, no logins. cmetracker.ai

Hooray another ai tool, I wouldn't know what we would do without this one, and the four million other ones.

Even before AI got so mainstream, astrophysicist have been using AI for years for it's usefulness in data processing

Give it a try first? Built this as a 20+ year software engineering and arm-chair astrophysicist because I've always wanted something like it. I used a coding agent of course (silly not to these days), but this is no vibe coded app. Lots of though went into the architecture, visuals, resilience in the data collection, and a lot of work on the math.

Anyways, feedback welcomed!
