Scientists capture first-ever images of the Sun's poles, revealing new insights into solar magnetic fields.

Scientists have captured the first-ever images of the Sun's north and south poles using the Solar Orbiter spacecraft, a joint mission by ESA and NASA. Launched in 2020, the spacecraft has provided unprecedented views of the Sun's poles, revealing chaotic magnetic fields and patterns not seen from Earth. These images will help researchers understand the Sun's magnetic field and the 11-year solar cycle and predict solar activity that can affect Earth's technology. The spacecraft will continue to capture data as it tilts further, promising even clearer views.
