Highlights From SDO's 10 Years of Solar Observation

The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) launched in 2010 and has provided valuable insights into solar activity over the past decade. Key discoveries include observing Kelvin Helmholtz waves, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. The SDO has also captured rare events like the Venus and Mercury transits. As the solar cycle changes, SDO continues to monitor the sun, contributing to our understanding of space weather and its impact on Earth. The mission aims to extend its observations for another decade, potentially witnessing the rise of the next solar cycle.
