NOAA • Shares Imagery From World’s First Operational Space-based Coronagraph 23.10.24 • NOAA today shared the first images from the Compact Coronagraph (CCOR-1), a powerful solar telescope onboard the new GOES-19 satellite. CCOR-1, the world’s first operational, space-based coronagraph, began observing the sun’s corona, the faint outermost layer of the solar atmosphere, on September 19, 2024.
