7 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

get_cme

CMEs are massive bursts of solar wind and magnetic fields from the Sun. Earth-directed CMEs cause geomagnetic storms and aurora. Default: last 30 days. Get Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) events from NASA DONKI

get_solar_flares

Classes: C (common), M (moderate), X (extreme). X-class flares cause radio blackouts and satellite disruption. Includes begin/peak/end times, active region, and instruments that detected it. Get solar flare events by class (C, M, X) from NASA DONKI

get_geomagnetic_storms

Includes Kp index and linked CME/shock data. Storms above Kp=7 are severe, Kp=9 is extreme. Affects power grids, GPS, satellites, and enables aurora at low latitudes. Get geomagnetic storm events from NASA DONKI

get_interplanetary_shocks

Shocks often precede geomagnetic storms and are caused by CME-driven disturbances in the solar wind. Get interplanetary shock wave events from NASA DONKI

get_solar_energetic_particles

SEPs are dangerous to astronauts and can damage satellite electronics. Get Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) events from NASA DONKI

get_radiation_belt

The Van Allen radiation belts can be energized during geomagnetic storms, posing risks to satellites in medium Earth orbit. Get radiation belt enhancement events from NASA DONKI

get_donki_notifications

A unified feed of all space weather events: CMEs, flares, storms, shocks, and radiation events. Good for a quick overview of recent solar activity. Get all recent DONKI space weather notifications

Were there any solar flares this month?

☀️ **Solar Flares — April 2026** | Date | Class | Peak | Region | |------|-------|------|--------| | Apr 2 | M2.1 | 14:32 UT | AR 3842 | | Apr 3 | C7.4 | 08:15 UT | AR 3840 | | Apr 3 | X1.2 | 22:47 UT | AR 3842 | 3 flares this month. 1 X-class — may cause HF radio blackouts.

Were there any major geomagnetic storms last year?

Yes, there were 12 significant geomagnetic storms last year reaching Kp index 6 or higher. The most severe was a G4-class storm in May, which caused auroras to be visible as far south as Texas.

Check if any interplanetary shocks are approaching.

Based on DONKI data, there is 1 interplanetary shock approaching. It is linked to a CME that erupted two days ago and is expected to pass by the DSCOVR satellite within the next 8-12 hours.

DONKI is NASA's historical database of space weather events with detailed analysis. SWPC (Space Weather Prediction Center, under NOAA) focuses on real-time monitoring and forecasting. They complement each other.
