The ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) has celebrated 30 years of continuous solar observation, overcoming challenges and revolutionizing solar science, space weather monitoring, and comet discovery, while inspiring future missions and international collaboration.
SOHO has been observing the Sun for 30 years, providing invaluable data that has revolutionized our understanding of solar phenomena, contributed to space weather forecasting, and supported numerous scientific discoveries and subsequent missions.
The NYPD has placed officers on modified duty amid an internal investigation into a kidnapping and torture case in SoHo involving cryptocurrency ties, with some officers linked to Mayor Eric Adams' security detail; the case has garnered attention due to its connection to digital finance and the city's efforts to promote the industry.
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.
The suspect accused of murdering a woman in SoHo, Raad Almansoori, will not be extradited to New York at this time, as Arizona prosecutors do not trust Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell wants Almansoori to remain in Arizona due to concerns about his treatment in New York. Almansoori is also suspected of other crimes, including a sexual assault in Florida, and the NYPD is working with the FBI to investigate potential connections to other crimes.
The suspect wanted in connection to the murder of a woman in a SoHo hotel has been arrested in Arizona and is charged in two stabbings there. Raad Almansoori, 26, is believed to be involved in a string of assaults on women in multiple states, including New York, Florida, and Texas. He made statements linking himself to these crimes while in custody in Arizona. The NYPD is working with the FBI to gather more information and is asking the public and law enforcement to come forward with any relevant information.
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.
A man in his 20s allegedly climbed the fire escape of Chris Rock's Soho apartment and appeared to be recording the comedian before fleeing in a white Mercedes when police arrived. Rock called the cops after spotting the man on the metal scaffolding outside his window. The NYPD is investigating the incident, but the peeping Tom has not been found.
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.
NASA's SOHO satellite tracked a powerful solar storm that caused a radio blackout in North America due to ultraviolet radiation ionizing the upper atmosphere. Another major solar storm, detected by Earth-orbiting satellites, could be headed towards Earth as the sunspot turns towards it, potentially causing multiple solar storms.
Kate Middleton broke royal protocol by getting touchy-feely with fans in Soho, posing for selfies and chatting with them. She also admitted to struggling with selfies and trying to teach her children French. The Princess of Wales also indulged a fan by posing for a photo with her sapphire engagement ring, which was similar to Princess Diana's. The royal couple visited the Dog and Duck pub in Soho to learn about preparations for King Charles' coronation.
Prince William and Kate Middleton visited the Dog and Duck pub in Soho to support the hospitality industry ahead of the Coronation weekend. The royal couple arrived at the pub on the Elizabeth Line and Prince William tried his hand at being a barman by pulling a pint of beer called "Kingmaker".

The visit aimed to recognize the efforts of people in the hospitality industry who will be working through the weekend.
Prince William and Princess Kate surprised commuters by taking the tube to visit a historic pub in Soho. The couple chatted with Transport for London staff and discussed the upcoming Coronation. At the pub, they sat down for a pint and discussed the buzzing atmosphere ahead of the Coronation. The prince also went behind the bar to pull the first pint of a special Coronation beer brewed by Nicholson’s for the historic occasion - the Kingmaker Pale Ale.

A 30-year-old man died after being restrained by a former Marine who put him in a chokehold for almost three minutes on a subway train in SoHo. The man had been acting erratically, allegedly throwing trash and yelling at passengers. The NYPD is investigating the incident and waiting for the medical examiner to determine the official cause of death. The Marine was taken into custody for questioning but released without any charges. The man who died had more than 40 prior arrests and an active warrant out for his arrest from a felony assault charge.
Multiple coronal mass ejections (CMEs) have been released from the sunspot AR3288, some of which have merged together to form a stronger cloud. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued a minor G1-class geomagnetic storm alert for May 2nd and 3rd due to the collective effect of these CMEs. The cannibal CME effect, where CME clouds absorb and merge with each other, can cause powerful solar storms that can damage satellites, mobile networks, GPS, and power grids. With the peak of the current solar cycle being pushed back, astronomers predict even stronger storms in the months to come. NASA's SOHO satellite is used to study the sun and its effects on the solar system.
