  Some of you may enjoy this website: https://www.helioviewer.org/ https://www.helioviewer.org/ (use . and , to move through time) Helioviewer.org is part of the Helioviewer Project, an open-source project for the visualization of solar and heliospheric data. The Helioviewer Project is funded by ESA and NASA. Also this one: https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/ https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/ SDO: The Solar Dynamics Observatory is the first mission to be launched for NASA's Living With a Star (LWS) Program. And that one: https://www.lmsal.com/isolsearch https://www.lmsal.com/isolsearch iSolSearch -- a window into the Heliophysics Events Knowledgebase (HEK). iSolSearch and HEK are designed to guide heliophysics researchers to relevant solar data, and primarily to that acquired by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) with the Atmosperic Imaging Assembly (AIA) and the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI). .nasa and .edu websites are my favorite rabbit holes to get lost into.

    For solar flares, I always like to check http://spaceweather.com http://spaceweather.com too.

      Spaceweather.com is a great resource. They regularly post galleries of auroras after geomagnetic storms. Also check in for any meteor related events!
