In the last month, #SolarOrbiter has been on 🐙monster-hunting duty.
💥While hiding from Earth's view, the active sunspot region AR3664 has produced more X-class (the highest category) solar flares, insanely energetic solar particles, and humongous coronal mass ejections👉https://t.co/xb1l8z6I4p
Our PhD student @nawin_nga presented his work on investigating solar wind outflow using Hinode/EIS and @MetisSolar onboard @ESASolarOrbiter at the first session of the joint SO/PSP/DKIST meeting.
Just the first of many interesting science that we will be presenting this week!

Today marks #SolarOrbiter's closest approach to the Sun, giving it a front-row seat during #SolarEclipse2024 🕶️🍿
What's more, this weekend the spacecraft is 90 degrees further round the Sun compared to Earth, meaning it can watch for potentially dangerous eruptions sent in our direction ☀️➡️🌍

☀️🧲 Did you know that #SolarOrbiter can see vivid changes in the Sun as it goes through its 11-year magnetic activity cycle?
As we approach 'solar maximum' (expected 2025), we see more brilliant explosions, dark sunspots and swirls of super-hot gas 💥

A cosmic alignment and some spacecraft gymnastics between @esasolarorbiter & @NASASun Parker Solar Probe has provided a ground-breaking measurement that is helping solve the 65-year-old cosmic mystery of why the Sun’s atmosphere is so hot

E' la turbolenza la risposta al paradosso della corona solare. Lo rivela il nuovo studio a guida INAF che combina le misure del coronografo @MetisSolar con quelle della sonda @ParkerSolar.
