You can watch space weather on your smartphone

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, launched in 2010, snaps hi-resolution pictures of the sun every 12 seconds, providing a wealth of data for scientists eager to understand and predict solar flares. You can view the latest images on your Android or iPhone with a free NASA app. Just search for “SDO” at the Android market or “3D Sun” at the Apple store.
