🌌 Aurora Borealis: Solar Wind & Magnetosphere Interaction

A physically-grounded 3D aurora simulator: charged solar-wind particles are funneled along Earth's dipole field lines via magnetic mirroring, precipitate into the polar atmosphere, and excite real oxygen and nitrogen emission lines that paint the sky green, red and blue-violet.
