SOHO's Long Journey Nears Its End After Extended Mission

The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), a joint mission by ESA and NASA, is nearing the end of its operational life as it approaches its 30th anniversary. Originally launched in 1995 for a two-year mission to study the Sun, SOHO has exceeded expectations, continuing to provide valuable solar data and even discovering comets. Despite overcoming numerous technical challenges, the mission's future is uncertain due to funding constraints, with NOAA's upcoming SWFO-L1 mission set to replace its role in 2025. SOHO's mission is expected to transition to a post-operations phase by 2026.

Impending Solar Storm Threatens Earth's Power Grid.

NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) has detected a high number of active sunspots on the farside of the Sun, which could bring a spell of strong solar storms to Earth. A helioseismic map of the Sun shows four different dark regions that highlight the potential area of instability on the Sun that can give rise to solar storms and solar flare productions. One of the regions is as large as the other three combined and is capable of sending a G5-class geomagnetic storm to the Earth, which can damage satellites, impact mobile networks and internet connectivity, and cause power grid failure.

Strokes bassist and realtor feud over Manhattan garden

Strokes bassist Nikolai Fraiture and a real estate executive, Toby Dodd, are embroiled in a legal battle over a private garden in Soho. Dodd and his wife purchased the garden and a small ground-floor room in 2017, while Fraiture and his wife bought a ground-floor unit and the basement in 2019. Fraiture claims the units purchased by the Dodds had been illegally combined, and prevented them from doing desired renovations. The Dodds claim that Fraiture is "fixated" on the garden and has made life in the building hell in his quest to obtain it. A Manhattan judge has granted the Dodds' request to prevent the Fraitures from booting them from 44 King until a court appearance next month.
