Lumara: Sun & Moon Live Viewer

Live Sun & Moon, Solar Storms

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

See the Sun storm in real time. Live SDO imagery, 12 wavelengths, photorealistic moon phases, X-class flare alerts from NASA. Privacy-first, free, no ads. Watch the Sun in real time. See the Moon in stunning detail. Lumara is your private window onto the Sun and Moon, powered by live NASA imagery and pure astronomical math. LIVE SOLAR IMAGERY See the Sun as it is right now. Lumara streams the latest images from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory across 12 different wavelengths — each revealing a different layer of the Sun's atmosphere: • 304 Å Chromosphere — fiery red surface where spicules erupt 10,000 km high • 171 Å Quiet Corona — golden coronal loops tracing magnetic field lines • 193 Å Corona — green hot atmosphere, perfect for spotting coronal holes • 211 Å Active Regions — purple magnetic activity zones • 94 Å Hot Flares — extreme heat marker showing where the next flare will strike • 131 Å Flare Plasma — one of two channels that can see plasma above 10 million K • 335 Å Active Corona — turquoise active regions • 1600 Å Transition Region — ultraviolet bright network • 1700 Å Surface — photosphere visible-light view • HMI Sunspot — magnetic field visualization • HMI Magnetogram — solar magnetic polarity • LASCO C2 Inner Corona — SOHO's view of the corona stretching beyond the Sun's edge SOLAR TIMELAPSE Watch the Sun rotate, churn, and erupt. Daily timelapse videos in 7 wavelength channels, plus a rolling 24-hour AIA 171 loop — perfect for catching a CME or flare you missed. PHOTOREALISTIC MOON The Moon, exactly as it appears tonight. NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio imagery shows the Moon at its current phase with photorealistic detail — every crater, mare, and shadow line. Plus: • Exact illumination percentage • Phase name (Waxing Gibbous, Last Quarter, etc.) • Moonrise and moonset times for 200+ cities worldwide • Distance from Earth in real units • Far side toggle to see what no one on Earth ever sees SPACE WEATHER ALERTS When the Sun storms, you'll know. Lumara surfaces real-time data from NASA's DONKI feed: • Solar flares with class (M, X) and timestamp • Coronal mass ejections with speed • Geomagnetic storm warnings Tap any event to read NASA's source report. 200+ CITIES Set your city for accurate moonrise/moonset times. From New York to Mumbai, Tokyo to Reykjavik — Lumara has the math. PRIVACY-FIRST Lumara collects no data. No account required. No ads, no tracking, no analytics. Your city stays on your device. Your preferences stay on your device. We don't even know you're using the app. INSPIRED BY THE SKY Lumara is built for everyone who's ever looked up. Astronomers will find the data accurate (Jean Meeus algorithms, NASA-sourced imagery). Kids will find the visuals stunning. Educators will find a teaching tool with real, current data — never a stock image. FREE FOREVER Lumara is free because the data is free.
