Besides its direct solar observation, SOHO has enabled the discovery of a large number of comets, mostly tiny sungrazing comets that incinerate as they pass the Sun.
Recent high-resolution satellites have enabled the detailed observation and mapping over wide areas enhancing the importance of remote sensing techniques.
In vitro fluorescence-based assays have enabled the direct observation of single microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) alongside the measurement of microtubule growth and shrinkage.
The SPIRIT EUV observations have enabled the study of various manifestations of solar activity and high-temperature events on the Sun.
Recent technological advances have enabled the determination of haplotypes by direct observation of molecular data and from genetic information, and with decreased reliance on population-based statistical estimation.
Since that time, advances have enabled the study of previously limited areas of observation (e.g. improved rock dating methods and submarine volcanic stages).
Numerous observations in the Northern Hemisphere have enabled the analysis of the seasonal and long-term variations in tropospheric O3.
Recent observations of infrared emissions have enabled the dust in the planetary formation region to be identified as rock-forming minerals, such as forsterite, ortho-pyroxene, diopside or hibonite; these are frequently observed in chondritic meteorites (e.g., Hanner et al., 1995; Malfait et al., 1998; Sitko et al., 1999; Honda et al., 2003; Hofmeister et al., 2003).
