The magnetic field drives the formation of sunspots, cooler regions on the solar surface that appear as dark blotches. At the ...

For the first time ever, a spacecraft has snapped images of the sun’s south pole. These swirling gold-and-black views of the fiery ball of gas are key to understanding the solar magnetic storms that ...

The first ever images of the sun's south pole have been snapped by satellite launched by the European Space Agency (ESA). Until now, every image of the sun has been taken from straight on, along ...

The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter, in collaboration with NASA, has captured unprecedented images of the Sun's south pole from 40 million miles ...

The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter captured the first-ever images of the sun's south pole in March, which were released this week.

A space probe has delivered world-first images of the Sun's south pole—and this is only the start towards deeper solar science.

The images have already been a boon for heliophysicists, showing turbulent magnetic activity at the south pole as the sun ramps up to the most active phase of its natural cycle.

A spacecraft developed by European scientists and companies has captured unprecedented new views of the Sun’s south pole.

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

What we saw in the DESI experiments, and now strengthened by our South Pole Telescope observations, is that dark energy is ...

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.

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.
