AI Analysis

●●SolidEye CandyCozy

Live solar wind visualization layered over ISS tracking—neat combo nobody asked for.

Strengths
  • •NOAA solar wind data (velocity, density, IMF Bz) integrated with ISS telemetry
  • •Interactive 3D scene with drag-to-rotate and scroll-to-zoom controls
  • •Real-time status indicators like eclipse state and near-Earth object counts
Weaknesses
  • •ISS trackers are commoditized; solar wind data available on spaceweather.com
  • •Visualization-only with no alerts, exports, or analytical capabilities

East Asia AQI/wind vector map

Animated wind vectors combined with selectable pollutant layers (PM2.5, PM10, NO2, etc.), playback speed and a date slider make it immediately useful for spotting transport patterns and hotspots. Feels like a focused, browser-hosted nullschool for pollution — visually effective but somewhat derivative, and the page doesn’t make the data sources or station-level provenance obvious.
