The perihelion passage of Comet Lovejoy is described in an article at the BBC. The research article, by Cooper Downs and Karel Schrijver and others, shows how the comet's tail reacts to the coronal...

A large coronal hole is currently transiting the solar disk center. This may be a source of high-speed solar wind and potential geomagnetic activity in a few days.

HMI has returned to normal operations. The HMI team at LMSAL and Stanford will closely monitor the instrument to verify its performance. We don't anticipate any more outages. Data is flowing to the...

Last night the HMI instrument rebooted and stopped producing science data. The HMI team has made sure the instrument is safe by rebooting and testing HMI. They will restart the science sequencer...

Today, starting at 1315 UTC (9:15 am ET), SDO executed the EVE Field of View maneuver followed by the HMI/AIA Flatfield at 1630 UTC (10:30 am ET). During these maneuvers the science experienced...

We are experiencing a system outage that is interrupting the automatic web updating of SDO images. The spacecraft is still fine and is collecting data as usual, and no SDO data has been lost. The...

After weeks of little activity, the Sun erupted with an M6.5 class flare today. At 0711 UTC (3:11 am...

Today at 1800 UTC (2 pm ET) SDO will execute an EVE cruciform maneuver. SDO will nod back and forth and up and down. These motions allow EVE to calibrate their spectral irradiances.
