The south pole (pictured) currently has areas of north (red) and south (blue) polarity magnetic fields Solar Orbiter used three instruments to capture images of the sun's hidden south pole, each ...

For the first time, scientists have imaged the elusive south pole of the sun. The images captured by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft reveal our star's magnetic field is a powder keg ready to blow.

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 ...

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. IE 11 is not ...

Now, however, scientists have tilted Solar Orbiter’s trajectory out of the ecliptic plane, ... you have a north pole and a south pole, each with its own magnetic polarity,” Anik De Groof, ...

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 ...

A magnetic mess 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 ...

That’s how Phil Asker describes what may be the coolest day tour in the world – a 12-hour trip to the South Magnetic Pole. Asker is the founder of Antarctica Sightseeing Flights.

These are the world’s first images of the south pole of our Sun taken by a man-made space probe. The images were taken on March 16th and 17th of this year, but ESA has only now published them.

Scientists are particularly intrigued by what the Solar Orbiter's array of imaging instrument has revealed about the Sun's magnetic field at the south pole. Instead of a clear, single polarity ...

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 ...
