China has successfully launched its first comprehensive solar probe, the Advanced Space-Based Solar Observatory or ASOS. The probe was launched on Sunday at 7 a.m. local time from northwest China's Gansu province into a sun-synchronous orbit some 720 kilometers above the earth. The solar probe will help scientists understand the solar magnetic field, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. ASOS will also help humans better prepare for any harmful impacts of solar activity on aerospace, communication, and navigation.
