Today, ESA - European Space Agency & NASA’s SOHO solar observatory marks 25 years in space! Over the years, its set of groundbreaking instruments became a source for numerous scientific findings, an inspiration for follow-on missions, and an outlet for citizen scientists. SOHO also survived near catastrophe twice and has become the longest-running Sun surveying spacecraft. What this powerhouse mission has witnessed in its 25 years has changed the way humanity sees the Sun. https://www.nasa.gov/f
