The Solar Orbiter, which launched in February 2020, imaged the sun's surface from less than 46 million miles away – or about halfway between the sun and Earth. All taken within about four hours ...
The images, taken on March 22, 2023, and released Wednesday, showcase different dynamic aspects of the sun, including the movements of its magnetic field and the glow of the ultrahot solar corona ...
A European spacecraft is showing us how dynamic the Sun is with newly released images, the highest-resolution images of our star's surface so far. The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter ...

The pictures below show the following perspectives from Earth, marking the hourly positions of the Sun on both solstice days.

The Day the Earth Smiled is a composite photograph taken by the NASA spacecraft Cassini on July 19, 2013. During an eclipse of the Sun, the spacecraft turned to image Saturn and most of its visible ring system, as well as Earth and the Moon as distant pale dots.
It’s hard to imagine what 20 million gigabytes of data look like, and it’s all the more difficult to picture it as a decade worth of photos of the sun. The project resulted in countless ...
