The Observatory of natural phenomena is designed and built by lelama.digital. It grew out of a long-standing curiosity about natural phenomena, and above all about the role our Sun plays: its cycle of about eleven years, its flares, the solar wind that constantly shapes the magnetosphere, and the way this activity reaches all the way to the Earth, from aurorae to disturbances of the magnetic field.
For years I followed the YouTube channel Suspicious0bservers with passion. Its daily space weather reports taught me to look at the Sun differently: reading a Kp index, watching for a coronal mass ejection, following a coronal hole, and above all asking questions about the possible links between solar activity, the Earth’s magnetic field, earthquakes or climate.
That passion led to a simple wish: to bring together in one place the data published by the major scientific institutions (NOAA, NASA, USGS, SILSO, IERS…), to make them beautiful and readable, and to let everyone judge for themselves. That is the spirit of this site: show the measurements as they are, with their sources and uncertainties, and put ideas to the test of the numbers. The Correspondences pages test, with classical statistical methods, hypotheses that circulate about these links, whether they hold up or not.
The site is independent, ad-free, and will keep growing: coronal mass ejections, tropical cyclones and other series are already on the list. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
