SOHO and friends

Daniel here, I'm going to tell you all about an important spacecraft called SOHO, which I use to study the Sun. My friends will also tell you about some other solar spacecraft: YOHKOH, TRACE and ULYSSES.

For the latest news on SOHO visit our iSun|trek website.

We are using instruments on board SOHO to find out: what the inside of the Sun (the solar interior) is like how the Sun's outer atmosphere (the corona) is heated how material flows out from the Sun (the solar wind) SOHO is operated from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) close to Washington DC, the capital of the USA.

		Here are some images from SOHO. Check out our Gallery for more images and movies.
