... Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) has been revolutionising our view of our star, the Sun. A review of some of the new results from SOHO is given here, with a particular emphasis on the solar ... on the Sun, the discovery of new solar phenomena, such as solar tornadoes and jets, a new view of the nature of the quiet Sun, and a new insight into the way the Sun ...

... of the solar cycle. So I would pick a good time during the solar minimum but would stay in touch with Mission Control for any updates from missions like the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) or the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) that ...

... highly charged particles at high velocities toward Earth and any orbiting spacecraft. Astronauts would have some early warning from monitoring spacecraft like the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) so they could take shelter in the better radiation-shielded parts of the ISS. ---- Answer provided by Jim Zebrowski Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted ...

... of the Sun called the heliosphere? The heliosphere is like as a bubble that extends far beyond the planets, blown outwards by the solar wind. Eventually it is stopped ... Solar Observatory). Later, the US National Space Weather Council (1995) clearly defines this phenomenon: “The term Space Weather generally refers to conditions on the Sun and in the solar wind, magnetosphere, ionosphere, and ...

... and water. But to sustain ourselves over the long haul—on trips to others planets—we'll need to grow food on spaceships, recycle wastewater and urine, and generate electricity with solar and ... damage to DNA, which can lead to cancer. On Earth and in low Earth orbit, we are protected from harmful solar and space radiation by the Earth's magnetic field. But if we ...

... The region where the expanding solar wind meets the surrounding galactic medium remains poorly explored. The structure of and the physical processes at this solar system frontier - the heliospheric interface - are of fundamental importance ... (ENAs) will determine the nature of the termination shock and the properties of the solar plasma in the heliospheric sheath. Then, imaging of the heliosphere in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) will map the heliopause. NASA ...
