We saw the incredible CME ☀️

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_Exploration/…
ALT Timeline of solar flares from active region AR3664, with dates from 9 May to 2 June 2024 indicated along a horizontal arrow at the bottom. Each flare is indicated by a circle (blue for those seen from Earth, red for those seen by Solar Orbiter on the Sun's opposite side) with a number indicating the flare's intensity.

Our PhD student @nawin_nga presented his work on investigating solar wind outflow using Hinode/EIS and @MetisSolar onboard @ESASolarOrbiter at the first session of the joint SO/PSP/DKIST meeting.
Just the first of many interesting science that we will be presenting this week!

Today marks #SolarOrbiter's closest approach to the Sun, giving it a front-row seat during #SolarEclipse2024 🕶️🍿
What's more, this weekend the spacecraft is 90 degrees further round the Sun compared to Earth, meaning it can watch for potentially dangerous eruptions sent in our direction ☀️➡️🌍

☀️🧲 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 💥

4 years today we sent @ESASolarOrbiter on it's journey to the sun. Still waiting for the "quiet routine" phase to start 😂 @NASASun @ulalaunch

🌞 Vi auguriamo #buonefeste e buon #Sole con il videobollettino solare del mese di dicembre, prodotto dal progetto Swelto e #SorvegliatiSpaziali 😎
Questo mese con una pillola su @ESASolarOrbiter e lo strumento italiano @MetisSolar 🛰️
Buona visione! 📽️⬇️

A cosmic alignment and some spacecraft gymnastics between @esasolarorbiter & @NASASun Parker Solar Probe has provided a ground-breaking measurement that is helping solve the 65-year-old cosmic mystery of why the Sun’s atmosphere is so hot

E' la turbolenza la risposta al paradosso della corona solare. Lo rivela il nuovo studio a guida INAF che combina le misure del coronografo @MetisSolar con quelle della sonda @ParkerSolar.

Allineamento con Parker Solar Probe 🚀 ☀️

We don’t have to wait for the stars to align – today, ESA/NASA’s @ESASolarOrbiter and NASA’s #ParkerSolarProbe will reach what scientists call radial alignment, when they are “lined up” with the Sun!

La riconnessione magnetica avviene anche a scale molto piccole. Un altro passo per risolvere il problema del riscaldamento della corona solare.

#SolarOrbiter’s @EuiTelescope has found that a magnetic phenomenon called reconnection is taking place persistently on tiny scales. It may be another step towards solving the mystery of why the Sun’s corona is so hot 🔥
