We are celebrating 30 years since the launch of SOHO. Happy Birthday!

A big "THANK YOU" to the individuals and teams that worked and continue to work on making our mission a success and to all the SOHO fans for the encouragement and support during the last thirty years!

SOHO began its Weekly Pick several years ago after sending a weekly image or video clip to the American Museum of Natural History (Rose Center) in New York City. There, the SOHO Weekly Pick is displayed with some annotations on a large plasma display. Today, we use this area as 'Solar Picks' to highlight stories, events or activities but not as often as every week.
