At the time of the flyby, the probe had a clear view of the south pole and the probe’s viewing angle to the Sun was around 15 degrees below the solar equator. With the Sun currently at solar ...

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 ...

On March 23, it took images at a steeper 17-degree angle. That allowed the spacecraft to clearly catch the Sun's south pole for the very first time.

(The new views show the sun’s south pole and were captured in March. The spacecraft flew over the north pole in late April, Müller says, but Solar Orbiter is still in the process of beaming ...

ESA has now released the first pictures of the sun’s south pole, taken between March, when the spacecraft was orbiting at an angle 15 degrees below the ecliptic plane, and today, when it reached ...

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 ...

A solar mission shared between the European Space Agency and NASA has captured the first-ever images of the Sun 's south pole. Under the ESA's guidance, Solar Orbiter—which launched in February ...

If you have a question you’d like an expert to answer, send it to [email protected]. Are people on the South Pole walking upside down from the rest of the world? – Ralph P., U.S. When ...

The South Pole Telescope is a 10-meter telescope with 16,000 detectors sensitive to millimeter-wavelength light, located at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica.
