Radar Sparks SOHO’s Comeback After 1998 Silence

SOHO lost contact in 1998 during routine maintenance; a radar ping from the Arecibo Observatory confirmed its location and tumbling, triggering months of careful recovery to thaw frozen hydrazine, warm fuel pipes, and recharge the batteries. As sunlight on its panels improved, power returned and SOHO gradually came back online, with the episode prompting ground-procedure reforms. The mission has since become a highly productive solar observatory and prolific comet hunter, illustrating how a healthy spacecraft can be endangered by ground operations.

Comet PanSTARRS Slides Past Earth in a Real-Time Sky Show

A brightening Comet C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS) will skim about 45 million miles past Earth, its closest approach on April 26, after surviving perihelion on April 19. The comet is visible in space-based imagery and can be tracked in near real time via the SOHO LASCO instrument and NOAA data feeds; it poses no threat and will fade as it moves away. Under dark southern skies it may be glimpsed with naked-eye, while binoculars reveal more detail as it traverses the solar-ward field.

Paula Cooper and the Slow-Bloom of 1970s Soho Art

Paula Cooper opened a Prince Street gallery in 1968 as Soho was transitioning from empty lofts to a vibrant art scene, building deep relationships with artists such as Chris Wilmarth, Lynda Benglis, Mark di Suvero, Joel Shapiro, and Elizabeth Murray, while maintaining enduring ties with peers like John Baldessari and Jasper Johns. Her patient, community-minded approach helped attract more galleries uptown, leading to the Wooster Street building sale in 1973 and a mid‑1990s Chelsea move, along with concerts and artist lunches that supported figures like John Cage and Donald Judd. The piece highlights a slower, more humane era in the New York art world and Cooper’s role as its repeat pioneer at the center of it all.

Easter comet MAPS could blaze in twilight skies after near-sun pass

A newly discovered comet, C/2026 A1 (MAPS), is brightening rapidly and could become visible from Earth if it survives a perilous close approach to the Sun on April 4, passing about 99,000 miles from the solar photosphere. If it endures, it may be seen in the western twilight around April 8–14, potentially as bright as Venus, with the safest viewing through SOHO’s LASCO C3 imagery from April 2–6. Astronomers emphasize eye safety when looking near the Sun and note the comet’s Kreutz sungrazer nature and long orbital history, with observations focusing on the Sun‑watching spacecraft for near-real-time images.

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.

"Arizona Refuses Extradition of SoHo Hotel Murder Suspect Due to Trust Issues with Manhattan DA"

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.
