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, scientists have imaged the elusive south pole of the sun. The images captured by the Solar Orbiter ...

For the first time in history, scientists have captured direct images of the Sun's north and south poles, thanks to the ...

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

Visuals from the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter reveal chaotic solar magnetism in the solar polar region. Even better images are expected in the years ahead.

ESA has just released the first-ever images taken of the Sun's south pole, as seen this year by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft.

We Earthlings see the sun every day of our lives—but gaining a truly new view of our star is a rare and precious thing. So ...

The images come courtesy of a spacecraft called Solar Orbiter. Led by the European Space Agency (ESA) with contributions from ...

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

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel navigation method based on topological magnetic and geometric maps for outdoor mobile robots. In this method, a state of a robot is represented by a travel ...

Over the course of our planet’s history, the field has flipped hundreds of times: Magnetic north has slid toward the bottom of the planet while magnetic south has traveled north. Signatures in ...
