Free software that lets you know the state of the sun in real time "Solar Weather Browser"

It was the Royal Observatory of Belgium. You can know the state of the sun that you do not understand even if you look directly with the naked eye. What I can see is something that represents ultraviolet rays from the sun. I realize that it is a great thing if the sun's activity is a lively day. It seems that it affects wireless communication, GPS, satellite operation, power / magnetic exploration, and so on. The so-called space weather forecast.

The software itself can operate with Windows 2000 / XP, Mac OS X 10.3 / 10.4, etc. Since there is a code, it seems to work on Unix or Linux.

Download from below. There are also other versions, such as the version produced by NASA that runs on the browser, and the visualization of the state of the surface of the sun.
