See The Jaw-Dropping New Video Of The Sun By A Spacecraft Almost There

The Solar Orbiter spacecraft has sent back the first video of the sun from just two-thirds of the distance between the Earth and the sun.

Anyone who saw the sun’s corona with their naked eyes for the first time during the recent total solar eclipse across North America may think they now know what the sun truly looks like. However, as Solar Orbiter proves, our star looks much weirder.Why the sun’s outer atmosphere- the corona- is hotter than its surface is one of the great mysteries of solar science. Cue Solar Orbiter, launched in 2020, has 10 scientific instruments that allow for making many unique observations.

This new video shows the transition from the sun’s lower atmosphere to the outer corona. In short, it’s what the sun looks like from up close. It shows: Hair-like structure comprising charged gas that follows magnetic field lines coming from inside the sun.Designed and built in the UK by Airbus Defence & Space, Solar Orbiter is a unique mission because it brings telescopes closer to the sun than ever before.
