Messy Magnetism and a Solar Speed Map According to the ESA, the Sun's south pole was studied with three scientific instruments in March, including the Solar Orbiter's PHI.

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 ...

The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter captured the first-ever images of the sun's south pole in March, which were ...

Weird magnetic fields at the sun's south pole. The Sun's polar regions are pretty busy and chaotic places, it turns out. The ESA's press release about their findings goes so far as to call the Sun ...

A closer view of the same topographic model shown in [THE MAP FIGURE]. This is a synthetic view based on real-world data called a colored hillshade, i.e., elevation data that has been color-coded ...

A topographic model of the Moon using a color-scale from purple (low) to red (high) based on data collected by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and Kaguya by the Japanese Space Agency.

A new camera at the South Pole Telescope has used the Cosmic Microwave Background, the first light to fill the universe, as a celestial treasure map that could lead to the secrets of dark matter.

For the first time, scientists have imaged the elusive south pole of the sun. The images captured by the Solar Orbiter ...

At the South Pole, there’s a science experiment that makes the Burj Khalifa—the world’s tallest building—look small. It’s called IceCube, and it’s built 2,500 meters down into the ...

The European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) Solar Orbiter is out of alignment with the rest of the Solar System. And that’s a good thing. By orbiting the Sun outside of the Solar System’s orbital plane, the ...
