High winds on the Front Range prompted a precautionary power shutdown. NSO is on backup generators; NSO data sources and VSO should stay up, but intermittent outages are possible. If you can’t reach us, that’s why.

VSO is happy to report that we have reestablished access to OMP/CLIMSO data via their new TAP AP.

VSO has added data from the Metis instrument to the Solar Orbiter Data Provider. Metis is the coronagraph of the scientific payload of Solar Orbiter. The main Metis objective is the investigation of the global corona in polarized visible light and in ultraviolet light.

By simulating a solar eclipse, Metis observes the faint coronal light, at least one millionth dimmer than the disk light, in an annular zone 1.6°–2.9° wide, around the disk center.

When Solar Orbiter is at its closest approach to the Sun, at the minimum perihelion of 0.28 AU (i.e., astronomical unit), the annular zone is within 1.7 and 3.1 R☉ (solar radii) from disk center. In addition, updates to EUI, SPICE and SoloHI data have been made.
