A Solar Cycle Bracelet

12 years ago on December 2 the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) was launched. SOHO has observed nearly a full Solar Cycle, as this dramatic image released yesterday shows (it's also up on Astronomy Picture of the Day). A multitalented spacecraft, when not observing the Sun in multiple wavelengths, and Coronal Mass Ejections, SOHO has picked up several comets.

Happy Anniversary SOHO! Lets hope it runs for many more years!
