Many thanks to @Hunt2behunter. He responsibly notified us about a security issue on our systems. We much appreciate the efforts of the white hat community.

☀️🧲 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 💥

Congrats to Louise Harra on winning the 2023 Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin Medal and Prize! The award is for her pioneering contributions to our understanding of dynamic activity on the Sun.

This week world reference UV spectroradiometer from @PmodWrc visited @FMIspace @IlmaTiede for a site audit. #harmonization #UVindex #UVtimeseries

#SolarOrbiter's second close encounter with the Sun is delivering stunning data of our home star

This movie comes from 13 Oct when @esasolarorbiter’s @EuiTelescope returned the highest resolution movie of the quiet corona ever taken

#SolarOrbiter is heading for the next close approach of the #Sun this week at approx 0.29 AU at 19:12 UTC (21:12 CEST) on Weds 12 Oct 😎

Yesterday, @ESASolarOrbiter flew by #Venus for a #GravityAssist that brings it 4.5 mil km closer to the Sun.

As the🛰️ cosied up to the planet, the Sun flung an enormous coronal mass ejection straight at the pair➡️https://t.co/vuk7RLNItG

It’s only Monday but we’re thinking about the weekend for #SolarOrbiter's next #VenusFlyby! 🛰🟠⤴️
Close approach on 4 Sept is ~01:26UTC at an altitude of ~6420km to adjust its orbit around the Sun; subsequent flybys will raise inclination to see more of the Sun's polar regions.

[ESA's Solar Orbiter @ESASolarOrbiter]

@EuiTelescope Many solar activity secrets lie hidden at the Sun's poles. This tantalizing view of the Sun’s south pole on 30 March is a hint of what’s to come. #SolarOrbiter will use Venus gravity to crank up its orbit inclination for a more top-down viewpoint
