OPEN POST: Your Captain's Favorite SOHO

SoHo is a neighborhood in the city of New York, known for being artsy and trendy. Or it's a neighborhood in London (UK), known for being a major entertainment district and the place your Captain shouldn't have allowed her mother-in-law to suggest checking out on a rowdy summer night.

But the best SOHO is indeed the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, a joint project by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It allows us to see awesome things like this Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from December 2002.
