Solar Orbiter Reveals Chaotic Solar Magnetism in Sun's Polar Region
The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter has captured the first clear images of the sun's south pole, providing new insights into the sun's behavior. More detailed images of the sun's north pole are expected later this year.
Key Points
- Solar Orbiter captures first clear images of the sun's south pole
- Scientists hope to gain new insights into the sun's behavior by studying its polar extremes
- More detailed images of the sun's north pole expected later this year
Pros
- First clear images of the sun's poles provide new insights into the sun's behavior
- Opportunity to study the polar extremes of the sun for the first time
- Expected to yield even better images in the future
