Science & Exploration Solar Orbiter gets world-first views of the Sun’s poles 11/06/2025 31324 views 95 likes Thanks to its newly tilted orbit around the Sun, the European Space Agency-led Solar Orbiter spacecraft is the first to image the Sun’s poles from outside the ecliptic plane. Solar Orbiter’s unique viewing angle will change our understanding of the Sun’s magnetic field, the solar cycle and the workings of space weather.

Solar Orbiter sends back first live observations from the Sun's south pole

techspot.com Alfonso Maruccia 2025-09-14 09:32:00

Starry Poles: Launched from Cape Canaveral five years ago, the Solar Orbiter has steadily delivered stunning insights about our star. Its latest achievement – a first-ever glimpse of the Sun's polar region – marks another leap forward, and researchers believe the most important discoveries are still to come. The Solar Orbiter (SolO) recently captured the first direct observations of the Sun's south pole – a region long shrouded in mystery. These unprecedented glimpses are crucial to understandi

See the Sun in a Way You've Never Seen It Before, From Above and Below

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-15 17:06:09

Every image you've ever seen of the sun is looking at its equator, because Earth's orbit sits there with a 7.25-degree tilt. That means humans have never had a good angle to view the sun's north and south poles until now. The ESA has released images of the sun's north and south poles, giving everyone their first glimpse at the top and bottom of our nearest star. The imagery was taken by the ESA's Solar Orbiter, which began its trek to view the sun's polar regions in 2020. To do this, the Orbite

Solar Orbiter captures images of the sun's pole for the first time

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-17 09:30:47

The Solar Orbiter has been observing the sun since 2021, but it recently went on a side trip to Venus which significantly tilted its orbit and gave it a good view of the sun's polar region. That is how it was able to capture images that will historically be known as humankind's first-ever views of the sun's pole. All our galaxy's planets and the other spacecraft we've deployed orbit the sun around an imaginary ecliptic plane along the star's equator. But thanks to the Solar Orbiter's Venus flyby

The Alters brings Kojima-esque weirdness to a tale of sci-fi survival

Solar Orbiter Captures First Clear Views of Sun’s South Pole—and It’s a Hot Mess

For more than 60 years, various spacecraft and telescopes have journeyed through space to stare at the Sun, capturing haunting images of the giant ball of hot gas at the heart of our solar system. Our view of the star is limited, however, by Earth’s orbital plane, which allows us to observe the Sun’s equator head-on while its polar regions remain in a frustrating blind spot.
