NASA Sun-Watching Spacecraft Bounces Back From Glitch

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) spacecraft has recovered fully from a hiccup it suffered while observing an eclipse last week, agency officials said. SDO didn't go back into "science mode" after watching the moon pass in front of the sun on Aug. 2. Two of the probe's three science instruments — the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager and the Extreme Ultraviolet Variability Experiment — had come back online by Aug. 4.
