Solar Orbiter’s view of the magnetic fields around the sun’s south pole. Patches of blue and red mark the mixed magnetic fields in this region that characterize solar maximum. ESA and NASA ...

Weird magnetic fields at the sun's south pole. The Sun's polar regions are pretty busy and chaotic places, it turns out. The ESA's press release about their findings goes so far as to call the Sun ...

All eyes on the Sun's south pole. A collage shows the Sun's south pole as recorded on March 16-17, 2025, when Solar Orbiter was viewing the Sun from an angle of 15° below the solar equator.

Solar Orbiter’s latest data reveals the Sun’s magnetic south pole in a state of chaos, with a mix of north and south magnetic fields rather than a single dominant one, like on Earth.

We now know, for instance, that Sun's magnetic field at the South Pole "is currently a mess." In a nutshell, the place shows both north and south polarity magnetic fields, with no clear ...
