European Space Agency's (ESA) and NASA Solar Orbiter has snapped images of the Sun in unprecedented detail.
A joint project between NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA), the Solar Orbiter was 46 million miles from the surface of the sun when it took the images.
The European sun-chasing spacecraft Solar Orbiter has snapped the closest image of the sun ever taken, revealing the finest details of our star's outer atmosphere, the corona.
Solar Orbiter is the first spacecraft to provide close-up views of the Sun’s polar regions, and addresses a central question of heliophysics: How does the Sun create and control the constantly changing space environment throughout the solar system?
Scientists have long questioned why the bursts of hot gas from the Sun do not cool down as fast as expected, and have now used a supercomputer to find out.
