This fluctuation is analogous to genetic drift â a change in the population's allele frequency resulting from a random variation in the distribution of alleles from one generation to the next. It is even possible that in any one generation no marbles of a particular colour are chosen, meaning they have no offspring.
SOHO stands for Solar and Heliospheric Observatory and is a satellite that studies the Sun 24 hours a day, 365 days a year without interruptions. The spacecraft has 12 scientific instruments collecting information about the Sun ranging from activity in the Sun's corona to vibrations deep in the Sun's interior.or SOHO there are two main reasons: the unstable orbit at the L1 point and facility of communication in a halo orbit. If SOHO was sitting directly at the L1 point, it would always be right in front of the Sun.
Dozens of tiny comets will closely orbit the Sun in 2015. The vast majority will die in its corona or on its surface. Only space observatories using coronagraphs, like SOHO, will be able to observe these comets. The general public has access to SOHO's movies and images, and can attempt to discover comets in 2015.
