The European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter has gotten as close as anything we’ve sent to study our star on purpose, and the pictures it took last year were from less than 46 million miles away.

A swirling solar jet 1.2 million miles long was captured in motion by Solar Orbiter—offering the clearest-ever view of solar wind forming at the source, deep in the corona. This structure ...
