SOHO Bit of background information.
SOHO moves around the Sun in step with the Earth, by slowly orbiting around the First Lagrangian Point (L1), where the combined gravity of the Earth and Sun keep SOHO in an orbit locked to the Earth-Sun line. The L1 point is approximately 1.5 million kilometers away from Earth (about four times the distance of the Moon), in the direction of the Sun. There, SOHO enjoys an uninterrupted view of our daylight star. All previous solar observatories have orbited the Earth, from where their observations were periodically interrupted as our planet `eclipsed' the Sun.
The above Graph updated regularly shows the data in graph form, to allow us to watch and monitor peaks and trends.
See Above the Changing Sun, and how it moves through active periods and quiet periods, giving rise to the Solar Cycle theories. We say Theories as who knows for sure as this has been only monitored for a few years, and 100 years or so is a nothing in the scale of things.
Again as above the Solar Cycles show a peak and dip over the years, this being the case, then we are due or should be in a peak for Sun activity around about now.
