  1. 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 🛰️ 🔭🤞

    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 mps.mpg.de/en/season-s-greetin

  5. Solar Dynamo: “Solar Orbiter” takes First-ever Images of the Solar pole
    For a better understanding of solar dynamo, it is imperative to study solarpoles, however all observations of the Sun so far were made from about...........

  7. [Pour le plaisir des yeux ... 🤩 ] Avez-vous vu ces images de la surface visible du #Soleil - la #photosphère - récemment acquises par les instruments embarqués à bord de la sonde #SolarOrbiter de l' @esa ?

    Ces trois images témoignent de la #dynamique de notre Soleil - notamment, des mouvements de #plasma à sa surface, de l'#éjection de matière depuis les #tâches sombres le long des lignes de champ #magnétique.
