as 2715 has almost gone around again
And the solar winds right now hitting the earth
Let me tell you about the SDO
Launched February 11, 2010 we have had just EIGHT years of never before seen space imagery of the sun.
said Madhulika Guhathakurta at a Jan 21 press briefing. She is the SDO program scientist at NASA Headquarters. https://www.universetoday.com/51980/nasa-advanced-solar-observatory-nearing-february-launch-will-send-imax-like-movies-daily/
"SDO is the first of NASA's Living With a Star program probes. The sun is an invaluable source of energy and warmth for the planet, but its variability can at time cause problems. A large solar storm has the capability to knock out power lines or communications satellites, for example. The program's major goal, therefore, is to understand why the sun's energy varies and how it can affect Earth.
The other instruments are the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager, which can track electric currents and magnetic activity in the corona, and the Extreme Ultraviolet Variability Experiment, which monitors ultraviolet solar emissions."
