feat: Add Space Weather mode with real-time solar and geomagnetic monitoring
New mode providing real-time space weather data from NOAA SWPC, NASA SDO, and HamQSL APIs. Includes Kp index, solar wind, X-ray flux charts, HF band conditions, D-RAP absorption maps, aurora forecast, solar imagery, flare probability, and active solar regions. No SDR hardware required. Bumps version to 2.20.0. Updates all documentation including README, FEATURES, USAGE, UI_GUIDE, help modal, and GitHub Pages site. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Space Weather
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Switch to Space Weather mode** - Select "Space Weather" from the Space navigation group
|
||||
2. **View Dashboard** - Solar indices, NOAA scales, band conditions, and charts load automatically
|
||||
3. **Solar Imagery** - Toggle between SDO 193A, 304A, and Magnetogram views
|
||||
4. **D-RAP Maps** - Select frequency (5-30 MHz) to view HF radio absorption maps
|
||||
5. **Aurora Forecast** - View the OVATION aurora oval for the northern hemisphere
|
||||
6. **Alerts** - Review current SWPC space weather alerts and warnings
|
||||
7. **Active Regions** - View solar active region data (number, location, area)
|
||||
8. **Refresh** - Data auto-refreshes every 5 minutes, or click "Refresh Now"
|
||||
|
||||
### Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- No SDR hardware required — all data comes from public APIs (NOAA SWPC, NASA SDO, HamQSL)
|
||||
- Check HF band conditions before operating on shortwave frequencies
|
||||
- Kp >= 5 indicates geomagnetic storm conditions that may affect HF propagation
|
||||
- D-RAP maps show where HF absorption is highest — useful for path planning
|
||||
- Solar imagery updates approximately every 15 minutes from NASA SDO
