After every notable event we post a short recap here — what happened, how far south it reached, and when the responsible region swings back around (~27 days later).

Launch — July 2026

Aurorix goes live on NOAA's new L1 data regime (SOLAR-1 operational; the legacy real-time solar-wind display retired at the end of June). We're heading into the strongest near-term window: the September–October equinox season, when geomagnetic storms peak. 2026 has already delivered a Kp 9- storm in January and a major flare in February — the declining phase of Solar Cycle 25 is living up to its reputation.
