SOHO WHO KNEW
It was totally fascinating reading about Soho and how it was almost lost in space when it’s gyroscopes failed and how they re-commissioned it by installing new software from earth.
To think that it’s still going since I think 1995 is amazing!
The image gallery alone is really nice, it has a lot of videos on the website.
The videos of comets grazing the sun is amazing !

Fear not. Soho has been around a long time and probably will continue, although some might say that its history is nothing to brag about...
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soho#History
(I'll be here all week, folks.)
