The Virtual Solar Observatory (VSO) is a new tool for investigating the physics of the Sun and its impact on the Earth environment. The VSO will address one of the central challenges of solar research: the need to locate, correlate, absorb, and analyze data from a wide array of scienti c instruments that measure the Sun on spatial and temporal scales that range over seven orders of magnitude.
