Current observations from ESA’s #SolarOrbiter help #PredictiveScienceInc predict what the #corona will look like during the upcoming #SolarEclipse2026. Input is data from the instrument SO/PHI designed and built at #mpsgoettingen.

Authored by IMPRS doctoral researcher Nerea Gurrutxaga, with IMPRS doctoral researcher Vignesh Vaikundaraman as one of the co-authors: this exiting press release about their work on birthplaces of meteorite in the Solar System just out!

A look into the “GREGOR Observations Center” GOC at MPS Göttingen during this month’s remote campaign at the GREGOR Solar Telescope, located on Tenerife. Many great active regions and sunspots, but unfortunately clouds obstructed our view. Hoping for better conditions for our August campaign together with Solar Orbiter 🛰️ 🔭🤞

Almost like the real thing: Three years before ESA's #ExoMars rover #RosalindFranklin is scheduled to land on #Mars, #mpsgoettingen apprentices have completed their own model of the Mars rover. Great job, guys! 🚀🛰️

Übermorgen, Donnerstag 19. Februar 2026, findet ab 18:00h wieder eine öffentliche Führung in der Astrophysik statt, diesmal mit einem Vortrag von J. Hölken, Mitarbeiter des MPS Göttingen.

Thema des Vortrags: Wie wir kleinste Phänomene auf der Sonne entschlüsseln

Alle Infos dazu in den folgenden Ankündigungen:

https://events.goettingen-campus.de/event/1765199850446

https://daphne.physik.uni-goettingen.de/list.php?abstract=1&close=1&inst=astro&id=985

https://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/218993.html

Vortrag und Führung findet bei jedem Wetter statt. Bei bewölktem Himmel ist jedoch kein Blick durch das Teleskop möglich.

#MPSGoettingen wishes you happy holidays and a healthy and successful New Year 2026!

Featuring prominently on our season's greetings card: the first images of the Sun's south pole 🛰️ ☀️

During its flyby of the Sun at the end of March this year, the Solar Orbiter space probe had its first clear view of our star's poles. Solar Orbiter's trajectory has recently been tilted 17 degrees relative to the Sun's equator, allowing measurements from this unique perspective for the first time. As the new observations impressively show, the magnetic field at the poles is currently in a state of turmoil.

In addition to the images of the sun's south pole taken by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft, the past year has brought us many other highlights: exciting scientific results and important awards. Read more at https://www.mps.mpg.de/en/season-s-greetings-2025

The International Max Planck Research School for Solar System Science becomes a permanent institution in Göttingen and Braunschweig

The Solar System School, the joint graduate school of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, the University of Göttingen, and the Technical University of Braunschweig, is now a permanent fixture in doctoral training in Göttingen and Braunschweig. The Max Planck Society will continue the International Max Planck Research School for Solar System Science at the University of Göttingen and at TU Braunschweig for an indefinite period. The IMPRS doctoral program offers students from all over the world the opportunity to obtain a doctorate in the field of solar system research... https://www.mps.mpg.de/bright-future-for-solar-system-school

#ParkerSolarProbe was in the right place at the right time in September 2022: It passed through a magnetic reconnection region in the Sun's corona. #SolarOrbiter observed the event from a distance. Study led by #SwRI in @NatureAstronomy

Dwarf planet #Ceres may have its origin in the #asteroidbelt, #mpsgoettingen scientists argue in a new paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research Planets. Yellowish bright material in #ConsusCrater is rich in ammonium and connected to Ceres’ curios #cryovolcanism, they find.
