About SpaceWeatherLive

Who's behind SpaceWeatherLive?

SpaceWeatherLive is an initiative of Parsec vzw, a non-profit organization from Belgium which consists of several websites about Astronomy, Space, Space Weather, aurora and related subjects. Our organization promotes these scientific branches onto the world wide web with websites as this one. Like our organization, it is driven with the help of many volunteers who spend a part of their free time in the development of the website and in providing updates, making articles or translate the website.

Support our website

The whole website is made with the help of volunteers, this is not our profession and we do not earn money with it. All the money we get from advertisers and donations go directly into the hosting costs of the website. It's with the help of donations we can keep this baby running, so feel free to support our project so we can continue to deliver this website to you visitors.

A bit of history...

Long before SpaceWeatherLive even existed there was a Dutch astronomy website, called Spacepage which is part of our organization Parsec vzw. Back in 2003, Spacepage provided some space weather information on that page with some basic data. That bit of information however grew steadily until it got too big for the Spacepage website. In 2005, the space weather part of Spacepage got its own Dutch domain Poollicht.be in 2005. The whole space weather website was then only available in the Dutch language. People loved the fact that they had a space weather website in their native language and the whole website was transformed into a multi-lingual website which was launched in 2008 with three available languages (Dutch, English and French) and the more international name SpaceWeatherLive was born.

Years and years of continuously improving and extending the website made it one of the biggest Space Weather websites on the internet with thousands and thousands of visitors per day and an ever growing set of unique features to bring everyone the latest and best Space Weather data, news, alerts, information and so much more.
