See the incredible data captured by the SolarOrbiter spacecraft on its recent close pass of the sun.

When the Solar Orbiter spacecraft made its closest flyby of the sun to date in March this year, it scooped up vast amounts of data from which we can learn about our star.

Other aspects of the sun’s activities are being revealed too, like the relationship between loops of hot gas at 1 million degrees Celsius, captured by EUI, and the magnetic fields which shape them. “Nobody has ever seen the details of the corona in that much detail before, so every time we get an image down it’s the first time we see something at that much scale. And that’s really fascinating,” said the principal investigator of the EUI instrument, David Berghmans, in a video posted by ESA.
