Lumyros is surprisingly the first Aurora app that shows the forecast for your location and only for times when it's dark enough to actually see the show. We also replaced Today's (00h-00h) Aurora forecast with Tonight's (sunset-sunrise) forecast - it just makes more sense.
Did you know that over 80% of tourists miss the Northern Lights due to the lack of Aurora knowledge? Don't let that be you! The right time and the right place are the key. Northern Lights Online Course and Aurora mobile app designed for beginners will significantly increase your chances.

Millions of people are coming to northern countries to see the Northern Lights. The majority of them never saw Aurora yet. How does it work? When can I see it? Where can I see it? How does it look in reality? And many more questions. We are here to help you. Learn all you need to know in an easy way in our Aurora Academy section. (Full disclosure: Some explanations might be simplified so everyone can understand it.)
The Top 3 most common questions when Aurora photo is shared on social media are When, Where was photo taken and What camera setting was used. We answer these questions for you so you can focus on sharing your Aurora story and experience.
The best handpicked Real Aurora places. How does it look there, how to get there, why is this place the best for Aurora viewing and photography? All questions are answered. Plus you can share with other hunters new breathtaking locations. To make sure you are sharing real experience - When sharing a new location your current GPS location is used (it means you can share a new location only when you are there).
Now we can all share what Aurora really looks like so others know what to expect. Imagine the same Aurora show where experienced Aurora hunter who saw Aurora hundreds times would share as low activity where a tourist would share it most likely as strong activity. No more confusion.
Surprisingly it makes sense. We explored all the available social networks and the reason why we created our own Northern Lights Social Network is simple. They are simply not designed for the needs of Aurora hunters.

We know. We would rather not to but not everyone understands the graphs. With the following sentence, we will be hated by all professionals. We do display the Kp index (and for several reasons) - but it works in a different way than what you are used to. (We do show real-time data from various magnetometers as well).
As a tourist coming to see the Northern Lights, the first thing you will find out online about Aurora is that the higher is the Kp index the stronger is current Aurora activity but in reality, it doesn't really work that way and certainly is not in real-time. Very rarely tourists understand nT values. We wanted to make it for them as easy as possible. Which is the reason why we bend some rules. Technically it's more K index. We are planning to adjust this feature. Meanwhile, the current Kp index in the Lumyros app represents the current Aurora strength in selected world regions.
Note: As you can see Lumyros app is quite complex and has much to offer. Due to many interconnected features, you might experience some bugs and flaws. Please don't judge us too harshly yet as we are still working on it and want to bring something new and exciting.
The features we just described are only the main ones and you can explore more in the app. We are currently working on describing all our features in more detail and on creating tutorials which will be available directly in the app.
