The Solar Orbiter's Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) instrument captured imagery of the sun over the last few years. The solar flares (blue circles) are shown using data from the spacecraft's ...

A high-resolution snapshot of the Sun from Solar Orbiter. Image: ESA & NASA/Solar Orbiter/EUI Team, E. Kraaikamp (ROB) Five years into its mission, NASA and ESA’s Solar Orbiter just snapped what ...

A new series of images from the Solar Orbiter spacecraft is giving scientists the clearest view yet of the sun's volatile lower atmosphere-and unlocking critical insights into the forces behind ...

ESA has compiled the largest image of our sun to date from 200 individual images taken by the Solar Orbiter. It shows the star in ultraviolet light. Europe's space probe for exploring the sun has ...

Five years into its mission, Solar Orbiter stuns again with this detailed view of the Sun. What you see is the Sun’s million-degree hot atmosphere, called the corona, as it looks in ultraviolet ...

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.

It was taken by the Solar Orbiter, a satellite launched five years ago by the European Space Agency (ESA) and Nasa. Its mission is to take images of the Sun closer than any spacecraft has done before.

including the Solar Orbiter, a joint mission of the European Space Agency and NASA launched in 2020, and NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, the first spacecraft to “touch” the sun.

Solar Orbiter, STEREO-A and WIND spacecraft that were distributed around the sun. To reproduce the observations, the simulations have been made to follow radio-waves. The research is published in ...
