Dr. Joe Gurman of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center provides commentary on selected shots from SOHO's 20 years in space.

After 20 years in space, ESA and NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, or SOHO, is still going strong. Originally launched in 1995 to study the sun and its influence out to the very edges of the solar system, SOHO revolutionized this field of science, known as heliophysics, providing the basis for nearly 5,000 scientific papers. SOHO also found an unexpected role as the greatest comet hunter of all time—reaching 3,000 comet discoveries in September 2015.

When SOHO was launched on Dec. 2, 1995, the field of heliophysics looked very different than it does today. Questions about the interior of the sun, the origin of the constant outflow of material from the sun known as the solar wind, and the mysterious heating of the solar atmosphere were still unanswered. Twenty years later, not only do we have a much better idea about what powers the sun, but our entire understanding of how the sun behaves has changed.

Seeing images from outer space really shows how insignificant we really are. I wish people looked up to the stars more, my self included

Love to see images from current solar cycle 2006-2016 as it nears completion. We had a few good boomers this cycle too and more sun diver comets.

The Sun is the most importont object in the sky to learn and understand and SOHO is our nain resource to study and keep an eye on!
I would like to thank all of the SOHO team for there countrubutions!

Does anyone know what the wonderful background music is by any chance?

makes me wonder about what happens in there for CME's to blast out like that. perhaps the effects we see here in our oceans with regards to rogue waves are similar principles for how such energy can erupt with such power.

It is like heavy wind pass or breath by our mouth happens occasionally or after excercise or run.

and to think anybody would question the value of investing in these great scientist's research.

Can you explain the missing data when the time frame easily show hours missing ? It seems like every time the Sun pops our way there is missing images. Some folks think there is some censorship going on. Surely not ! SOHO and SDO both. Thank you for letting us see what you want us to see. I really am hooked on our Star.

Публиковал во внутренней сети на территории КБ Грабина 2001..2005 года. Народу нравилось. Danke.

I could watch the sun for years and never stop being fascinated. I love videos like these because they explain what it is that you're looking at and why it's important.

How could anyone give this a thumbs down? It’s beautiful, fascinating and amazing!

Why exactly is there an 11 year cycle of activity? What's going on with the star that makes this happen and do all stars have such a cycle?

One of my favorite space instruments since it's launch, but I'm really bothered by the certainty expressed relative to the solar cycle. I've been skeptical of that assertion since it was touted just 11 yrs into this study. We have seen many periods & events within this "so called" 11 year cycle that don't fit that HYPOTHESIS. We've had those instruments for only 2 cycles. (Please forgive me if the theory has more merits than I am aware.)

фото которое сегодня висит в оранжевом спектре говорит что Светило тоже интересует как паять пп трубы..и куда еще деть этот материал. тот что оно разумно нет никаких сомнений оно живое разумное.. и контактное... простоинудно понять что его беспокоить в данный момент..
