So it's fingers crossed for the Solar Dynamics Observatory, destined to help the predictions of "space weather".
SDO promises to become an exciting mission as an orbiting solar observatory with multiple high-definition telescopes has never been attempted before… The prelaunch readiness press conference will be held at 1 p.m. EST, on Monday, 8th February 2010 from the Kennedy Space Center News Center. It will be immediately followed by the SDO science briefing, both briefings will be broadcast live on NASA Television. Launch is set for 9th February 2010 (10:30 – 11:30 a.m. EST). |

It can't possibly be safe to live in close proximity to such a monstrous thing. Somebody should do something!

Not to worry, give it a couple gigayears and the problem will solve itself.

Compared to the Earth, how massive are those "sticks of wood" referred to by Ugordan in 160?
And, where were Mercury and Messenger when the big outburst took place? Do events like this have the ability to damage the spacecraft? |

Just noticed this morning - do these SDO images look blurry to you?

They look upsampled to me. Eyeballing it, I'd say the original frames were 4x4 binned.

It doesn't look "ok" to me, I see huge data gaps in certain bands. Obviously some bandwidth/downlink issues.

This one seems ok to me though http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/img/latest/f_211_193_171.jpg I don't see anything on the website to say they have changed the images.
