Science, Math & History
This page brings together a set of resources and explorations focused on science, math, and history. The entries range from visualizations and explanations (like space-weather forecasts for the aurora) to broader topics that help make sense of how the natural world, numbers, and historical events connect. Some pages are references, others are things I’ve built or adapted to explain an idea more clearly.

Space Weather & Aurora Forecasts (NOAA) (swpc.noaa.gov and www.spaceweather.gov)
These pages focuse on space weather data and forecasts published by NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). Space weather refers to conditions driven by solar activity—such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections—that can affect Earth’s magnetosphere, satellites, power systems, and radio communications. One of the most visible effects is the aurora.
The primary resource referenced here is NOAA’s real-time aurora and geomagnetic activity forecasts, including the Kp index and short-term outlooks. These visualizations make it easier to see when and where auroral activity is likely, and how solar conditions are evolving over time. While the underlying physics is complex, the forecasts themselves provide a clear, accessible way to connect solar activity with observable effects on Earth.
