The solar orbiter space probe in the first time history passed the image of the southern pole of the sun – a place that remained out of reach of human vision for decades.
For the first time in history, scientists have managed to get clear photos of the South Pole of the day. This has been possible thanks to the Solar Orbiter Spacecraft, according to the European Space Agency (ESA) with a reference to the New York Times.
For decades, the pole of the sun remained mystery – there was no device that could look at the right angle. This is done only after a series of gravity maneuvers of the solar orbiter near Venus. Thanks to them, the investigation reached the planet plane of the planets and see the star from the new angle.
In March 2025, the device flew at a distance of about 51.5 million kilometers above the Southern pole of the day, at an angle of 17 degrees. And made historical personnel -they can see a stained magnetic activity caused by the complex interaction of the fields of solar magnetic.
“When the sun is reduced, there are North and South Poles – each with magnetic polarity. Now the magnetic field is a kind of” mess, “explained the head of the mission Anik de Grof.
These pictures are important not just out of interest in science. They will help to better understand the 11 -Year -old cycle of solar activity -and, perhaps, to predict the period of space, affecting satellites, communications and even electric networks on Earth.
In addition, scientists are seeking to figure out why the charged particles from the poles of the sun move faster than those from the equator. This is one of the main puzzles that the solar orbiter works today.
