Solar Orbiter took dramatic photos of the Sun

On March 26, ESA Solar Orbiter made its closest approach to the Sun. It penetrated the orbit of Mercury, where it was hot but totally worth it. The main task of the Solar Orbiter is to understand the connection between the Sun and its heliosphere, and the new images helped to learn more about it. According to the European Space Agency (ESA), Solar Orbiter is the most sophisticated science laboratory ever sent to the Sun. It is equipped with a powerful set of tools, including a magnetometer, a device for capturing images in extreme ultraviolet light, a plasma analyzer of the solar wind, and other equipment. A wide range of devices allows it to observe solar phenomena in many ways.
