The Virtual Solar Observatory (VSO) was released to the community in December 2004. It is designed to provide
solar physicists with a tool that allows them to locate and access solar data in an efficient manner, thus
facilitating science studies involving multiple data sets. Examples of science projects that have been done with
the VSO are a study of halo CME speeds and their visibility in a variety of SOHO data sets, and the calibration
between helioseismic farside signals and the characteristics of active regions. Future possible projects include
studies of farside coronal mass ejections; the relationship between subsurface flows and solar wind speeds;
statistics of the active region life cycle; sunspot energetics, and space weather predictors.
