I recently ran across Spaceweather PHONE, an interesting service to those who have a strong interest in space, or radio wave propagation. It is provided by the Web site Spaceweather.com, itself an excellent source of current information about what is happening in space.
Spaceweather PHONE is an astronomy alert service from the creators of Spaceweather.com. Sign up for our service — for yourself or as a gift for someone else — and we’ll phone you when things are happening in the sky. When auroras appear over your hometown, your phone will ring. When the space station is about to fly over your back yard, your phone will ring. When planets align … you get the idea. The voice you hear will be Dr. Tony Phillips telling you what to look for and when. Each phone call comes with a simultaneous email message, so if you miss part of your call or can’t remember the details — just check your email for the full story!
Here is the pricing for the service.
- Space Weather Alerts, US$4.95 per month auroras, solar flares, radiation storms
- Backyard Astronomy Alerts, US$6.95 per month space station flybys, meteors showers, planet-Moon alignments, comets and more…
You may select one or both. The cost for both is US$11.90.
