Magnetic regions on the Sun's surface. This is one of the first images taken by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft, which launched in February 2020. It was taken at a distance of only 77 million kilometres, the closest that images of the Sun have ever been taken. It is a magnetogram that shows magnetic regions of both north and south polarity. It covers an area of approximately 200, 000 square kilometres. Imaged by the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (PHI) High Resolution Telescope on ESA's Solar Orbiter spacecraft, on 28th May 2020. | |
