ESA's Solar Orbiter captured a "tube of cooler atmospheric gases snaking its way through the Sun’s magnetic field," according ...

The Solar Orbiter's SPICE instrument provided another first for the ESA spacecraft, allowing scientists to track elements via their unique emissions as they move through the sun.

ESA's Solar Orbiter deep-space probe has made history, returning the first-ever images of the Sun's south pole. It's a world first that sheds a great deal of light on the mysteries of our parent ...

(Image credit: ESA & NASA/Solar Orbiter/PHI Team) The Solar Orbiter spacecraft has sent home the highest resolution images of the sun's surface to date, providing fresh views of our well-studied star.

New research led by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has confirmed decades-old theoretical models about magnetic ...

The ESA says sunspots are colder than their surroundings, and therefore give off less light, hence the dark coloring. All of the images were taken while the Solar Orbiter was less than 74 million ...

Solar Orbiter is a space mission of international collaboration between ESA and NASA. A team from University College London is using the data to better understand how solar storms develop.

ESA & NASA/Solar Orbiter/EUI Team, E. Kraaikamp (ROB) Solar Orbiter was launched in 2020, and since then has made a number of close approaches to the sun.

The video, which was released March 26 by the European Space Agency (ESA), is sped-up footage originally taken over an eight-hour period on Oct. 12, 2022, by ESA's Solar Orbiter.

This year, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter mission broke free of this ‘standard’ viewpoint by tilting its orbit to 17° – out of the ecliptic plane where the planets and all other Sun-watching ...
