NASA | Highlights from SOHO's 20 Years in Space

The video explores various aspects of heliophysics, focusing on observations made by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. It covers the solar system's orbital plane, the use of coronagraphs to observe the sun's corona, and the detection of planets and star clusters. The video highlights solar activity, including coronal mass ejections and prominences, and discusses the solar magnetic cycle. It also examines sungrazing comets and their interactions with the sun, as well as the impact of solar events on space weather. The video concludes with observations of Comet Mac Holtz and solar rotation patterns.

Describe the observations made by Soho's Extreme Ultraviolet Telescope during the fall of 2003.

What are coronal mass ejections and how do they relate to solar activity?

Explain the phenomenon of prominences in the solar corona.

How do sungrazing comets behave as they approach the sun?

What was discovered about the direction of a comet's tail as it passes near the sun?

Discuss the distribution of solar activity events during solar maximum and minimum.
