There is no smooth sailing with the solar wind 🌊⛵️ @ESASolarOrbiter observations confirm that the solar wind gets gusty at its roots. Its turbulent motion begins very close to the Sun, inside the solar atmosphere known as the corona 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=cfPU3K…

How does solar wind reach speeds of almost 2 million km/h? 🌊 The investigative duo @ESASolarOrbiter and @NASASun’s Parker Solar Probe demonstrate that fast wind gets its energy by riding magnetic waves 👉 esa.int/Science_Explor…

🏆 It's success for @ESASolarOrbiter in the #ESAGames space diving! 🤿 An hard-fought battle between our Sun explorer and our Venus orbiter, with Solar Orbiter ultimately taking the top spot due to its impressive plunge into the scorching environment of our star ☀️
European Space Agency@esa

OK sports fans, the results are in! Bronze for 🥉 @esa_aeolus, silver to 🥈 Venus Express But the #ESAGames gold for space diving goes to: 🥇 @ESASolarOrbiter! 👏 We thought Aeolus or Venus Express would win this one. As well as its research into Earth's winds, Aeolus is known for its world-first assisted reentry, taking an expertly guided dive from orbit into the ocean in 2023. Venus Express had a daring aerobraking campaign in 2014, during which it dipped progressively lower into Venus's atmosphere on its closest approaches to the planet, eventually reaching the lowest point of its orbit at about 130–135 km. 😎 But Solar Orbiter stole the show here, now taking a plunge in the scorching environment of our star, capturing images of the Sun closer than any spacecraft before.

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👉esa.int/Science_Explor…

👀Seeing double?👀 No, you’re just seeing 🌞 ESA’s Proba-2 satellite filming the Sun’s front, and ☀️@ESASolarOrbiter filming the Sun’s back Good thing, too, otherwise we would have missed the largest flare of the current solar cycle (class X12)! 💥 More👉esa.int/Science_Explor…

A #SolarOrbiter success story! A key mission goal was to link the solar wind detected around the spacecraft back to its source regions on the Sun. A new paper, using data taken during our first close approach to the Sun, confirms that it's possible. More👉esa.int/Science_Explor…

This morning, the same active region showed its face once more, producing a very large Class X2.9 flare and coronal mass ejection… ...and @MissionSOHO caught it on camera! (Watch the left side of the video) Be prepared for more solar activity this week! 📹SOHO (ESA & NASA)

#SolarOrbiter is currently watching the backside of the Sun, so the blast it witnessed didn’t affect Earth. However, it came from the same active region that caused the recent spectacular auroras 🌌 Starting from tomorrow this active region will face Earth again 👀 More auroras to come?? 📷 J. Schmidt, taken on 11 May 2024 near Frankfurt, Germany.

What a blast! 💥 On 21 May #SolarOrbiter witnessed one of the biggest solar outbursts in the last 30 years. Various instruments detected a MASSIVE solar flare (estimated class X12) accompanied by a big burst of particles coming from the active region visible in the centre of the images shown below. 📷 ESA & NASA/Solar Orbiter/EUI Team
