Solar Observing Satellites

Solar observing satellites are specialized spacecraft designed to study the Sun. They are equipped with advanced instruments to capture images and gather data about solar phenomena, such as sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. By observing the Sun from space, these satellites provide crucial information about the Sun’s influence on the solar system, including its effect on Earth’s climate and technology. Notable examples include NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory and the European Space Agency's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, which help scientists better understand solar activity and improve space weather forecasting.
