More recently, #SolarOrbiter delivered the world-first views of the Sun’s poles.
A tilted orbit gives Solar Orbiter a unique viewing angle, from where we can better understand the Sun’s magnetic field, the solar cycle, and space weather to ultimately enable us to protect our planet. 4/🔭 #CM25

From there onward, #SolarOrbiter brought us the highest resolution images of the Sun ever, telling us more about its turbulent life:
☀️ imaging giant solar eruptions
☀️ charting the Sun’s effects on the heliosphere
☀️ discovering tiny jets that could power the solar wind

Soon after, we delivered the first #SolarOrbiter data to the scientific community and the wider public.
The data came from the suite of in-situ instruments that measure the conditions surrounding the spacecraft. 3/ 🔭 #CM25

Five months after launch, #SolarOrbiter was delivering its first images of the Sun.
No other images of the Sun had been taken from such a close distance at the time. They revealed omnipresent miniature solar flares, dubbed ‘campfires’, near the surface of the Sun. 2/ 🔭 #CM25

And here a video of the Sun's North Pole (also in this link: stce.be/movies/EUIso...)

In the last day and a half I’ve been in Northern Ireland, Dublin airport, driven half way across Belgium (and back) and am now back home in Madrid. 🛬
Quite ready for bed now tbh.

Fantastic news!! Congratulations to you and to the whole team. I’m sure we’ll be updating our science plans accordingly 🙂

(2) RAYE's collaboration with LISA and Doja Cat, 'Born Again', has not been removable from my mind all weekend. It is absolutely dripping with RAYE-ness. The song's absolute perfection, but so is the video! Go and listen to/watch/fall in love with it.
Thank you for coming to my birthday message 😊
