Solar Orbiter has captured the clearest evidence yet that a solar flare grows through a cascading “magnetic avalanche.” Small ...

“This is the longest continuous series of images ever created for a single active region: It’s a milestone in solar physics,” ...

ESA's Solar Orbiter, along with NASA's spacecraft, aids researchers in getting insights about NOAA 13664, the sun's active region.

An international team of researchers tracked the active solar region using the Solar Orbiter spacecraft, a joint NASA and European Space Agency mission that orbits the Sun on an elliptical path to ...

A recent Venus flyby pushed the spacecraft out of Earth's orbital plane, allowing it to gaze at the solar poles. Reading time 3 minutes For more than 60 years, various spacecraft and telescopes have ...

The European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter mission recently stunned the world with the first-ever full images of our Sun’s South pole, proving that this was going to be a mission like no other. Using ...

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 ...

The first-ever images of the sun’s south pole have been captured by the robotic Solar Orbiter spacecraft. The European Space Agency (ESA) released images on Wednesday using three of Solar Orbiter's ...

ESA's Solar Orbiter deep-space probe has made history, returning the first-ever images of the Sun's south pole. It's a world first that sheds a great deal of light on the mysteries of our parent star, ...

Scientists tracked active solar region NOAA 13664 for 94 days, showing how persistent magnetic complexity drives flares and ...

We Earthlings see the sun every day of our lives—but gaining a truly new view of our star is a rare and precious thing. So count your lucky stars: for the first time in history, scientists have ...
