Solar Orbiter Captures Unprecedented Close-Up of the Sun

The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter has provided a new video revealing detailed solar phenomena from an unprecedented proximity.

The video showcases phenomena like coronal rain and spicules, offering insights into solar dynamics.
Captured from a third of the distance between Earth and the Sun, the footage displays temperatures reaching a million degrees Celsius.
The Solar Orbiter, launched in 2020, is equipped with 10 scientific instruments, enhancing our understanding of the Sun.
This mission allows scientists to study the Sun's magnetic field and outer atmosphere more closely than ever before.
The findings could improve our knowledge of solar weather patterns, impacting space travel and satellite operations.
