  STD Aurora Monitor  Popular
Description: Have you ever glimpsed an aurora? This program uses four auroral activity models to predict potential visible auroral activity over the high, middle and low latitudes. Automatically fetches a variety of spacecraft and ground-based auroral activity imagery in near-real-time. Brings to your desktop the latest auroral activity watches and warnings and shows the latest forecasts and daily summaries.

Enables you to post sighting reports to the Auroral Activity Observation Network and to read the ones submitted by users elsewhere. Additionally, you are given access to a discussion forum.

Since the release of version 2, the program can now also display and animate Solar Imagery from a variety of sources (including: SOHO spacecraft, Yohkoh x-ray spacecraft, professional solar observatories such as Big Bear Solar Observatory and real-time solar imagery from Sacramento Peak, NM and Kanzelhohe Solar Observatory, Austria), show satellite weather pictures of clouds and their motions on the Earth (for many regions of the world, including the U.S., Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, east Asia, Japan and South America) and display plots of solar x-rays, space environment conditions and even solar wind conditions in near real-time.

The Trial version is fully functional and it is not time restricted, but it does show nagging reminder screens from time to time

  IRIS  Popular
Description: Simulates light scattering by cloud and fog droplets using the Mie theory. Glories, fogbows and coronae plotted.

Not directly related with Astronomy but, nevertheless, interesting to people used to visual observation of the sky.

Features include:
. Angular scale & Moon disk tools.
. Simulations for sunlight, monochromatic light or user selected bandwidths.
. One click operation to produce a simulation. The program automatically selects the optimum calculation parameters.
. Colour simulations for single sized droplets in a few seconds. Those for a droplet size distribution take a little longer!
. Choice of quality from very high to a fast draft.
. Choice of views and zoom settings.
. Simulations adjustable (without recalculation) for intensity range, usual image processor functions and background intensity .
. Choice of droplet substances in addition to water default. User can also add extra materials of defined complex refractive index. Calculations for specific inputted complex index.
. CIE or Bruton colour models.
