The ESA's Solar Orbiter has discovered that solar flares act like avalanches, growing from weak disturbances into powerful ...
The Solar Orbiter has been observing the sun since 2021, but it recently went on a side trip to Venus which significantly tilted its orbit and gave it a good view of the sun's polar region. That is ...
Solar Orbiter has captured the clearest evidence yet that a solar flare grows through a cascading “magnetic avalanche.” Small, weak magnetic disturbances rapidly multiplied, triggering stronger and ...
For the first time, scientists have imaged the elusive south pole of the sun. The images captured by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft reveal our star's magnetic field is a powder keg ready to blow. When ...
European Space Agency-led Solar Orbiter was launched in 2020 It studies solar activity cycle, magnetic field, solar wind The European Space Agency on Wednesday released images taken in March using ...
Launched in February 2020, the European Space Agency's (ESA) Solar Orbiter probe has been looping around the Sun with a special purpose in mind: Studying the poles of our star. The planets orbit the ...
The first-ever images of the sun’s south pole reveal a messy jumble of magnetic activity in a never-before-seen region of our nearest star. The images, taken by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft and ...
The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter has captured humanity's first-ever images of the sun's poles. If this doesn't seem like a big deal, consider that every image you have ever seen of the sun ...
Launched in February 2020 to take the first-ever close-up images of the sun, the European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter spacecraft has sent back humanity’s first clear images of the sun’s south pole.
Solar Orbiter observed more than 300 bursts of ‘Solar Energetic Electrons’ between November 2020 and December 2022. For the first time, we clearly see the connection between the energetic electrons in ...
