Here we see the HI (Heliospheric Imager) visual data as it tracks interplanetary space for solar wind and CME's (coronal mass ejections) heading towards Earth.

Using data from the Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG) facility of the National Solar Observatory and from the Stanford University Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) on NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft, we have constructed a map of the torsional-oscillation flow inside the sun over the past 14 years.

According to scientists at NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), "The sun is waking up from a deep slumber, and in the next few years we expect to see much higher levels of solar activity ... at the same time, our technological society has developed an unprecedented sensitivity to solar storms."

NASA has a great site that gives real-time data and updated images of the Sun from SoHO Solar and Heliospheric Observatory.

But now NASA researchers think the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory SOHO will be able to give astronauts some warning before the big storm hits.
