What's going on? PHI's maps of the solar magnetic field highlight an intriguing paradox: While most magnets have a distinct north and south pole, the sun's south pole is roiling with both north and ...

The Solar Orbiter spacecraft, a joint mission between the European Space Agency and NASA, is the first to venture into a ...

For the first time in history, we re seeing the Sun from an angle no one ever has: from above and below its poles. Thanks to ...

"We didn't know what exactly to expect from these first observations – the sun's poles are literally terra incognita,” Sami ...

The Sun's polar regions are pretty busy and chaotic places, but our newfound views of its south pole will help predict future solar activity.

Never before seen pictures will help scientists learn how the Sun's activity changes from stormy to quiet periods ...

The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter spacecraft returns first-ever data of the Sun collected from a 17-degree tilted ...

“When the sun is at its minimum, you have a north pole and a south pole, each with its own magnetic polarity,” said Anik De Groof, Solar Orbiter’s mission manager.

On Wednesday, the European Space Agency (ESA) released the first clear images of the Sun’s south pole, revealing that both north and south magnetic polarities are currently present on the same side.

For the first time, images of the Sun's south pole have been captured by a space probe. This unique perspective provides ...

New images are key to understanding solar magnetic storms and other space weather that can disrupt systems on Earth.
