Lagrange point 1 is the At the orbital parking spot known as AllAboutSp­ace SOHO. This point is approximat­ely 1.5 Solar and Heliospher­ic Observator­y, or the Earth, and provides an uninterrup­ted million kilometres (932,057 miles) from with instrument­s that are specially view of our star. The spacecraft is equipped space weather, which is the made to watch the Sun in order to understand into circumstel­lar space. These particles expulsion of highly energetic particles life on Earth. have the potential of interferin­g with as it is reaching its solar minimum At the moment the Sun is fairly inactive views of the Sun have been imaged in terms of its activity. These four recent Telescope (EIT), which can observe in using SOHO’s Extreme ultraviole­t Imaging was relatively no sunspots. The blue Sun different wavelength­s. Here all show the yellow by EIT 284 and the red by created by EIT 171, the green by EIT 195, Sun the wavelength, in ångströms, that the EIT 304. The numbers correspond to is being observed in.
