Learn how the European Space Agency's spacecraft captured a completely new view of the Sun, thanks to its novel tilted orbit.

Visuals from the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter reveal chaotic solar magnetism in the solar polar region. Even better images are expected in the years ahead.

We didn’t know what exactly to expect from these first observations — the Sun’s poles are literally terra incognita,” said ...

One such discovery made regarding the Sun’s magnetic field is that, at the solar south pole, the Sun’s magnetic field is quite a mess. Measurements from PHI showed that both north and south polarity ...
