[PPRAANet] Auroral Oval Estimate

[Jim Madsen]

Recently earth.nullschool (one of my favorite websites) has updated 
their site to display the auroral oval.  The estimated auroral oval is 
updated every 30 minutes.  see 
https://earth.nullschool.net/#2023/06/16/2355Z/space/surface/level/anim=off/overlay=aurora/orthographic=-100.82,-1.13,588/loc=-117.537,34.394 
for the display from June 16.  You can rotate the globe to view the 
Aurora over Antarctica.

You can also see where smoke and forest fires are, by viewing 
Particulates <10 µM.  See 
https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/particulates/surface/level/overlay=pm10/orthographic=-99.40,40.52,385 
for current display.  And no, all of Africa isn't on fire -- that's 
probably sand.

The basic website is at https://earth.nullschool.net/ -- the menu is in 
the bottom left corner.  Info about this website is accessible at
