Solar Orbiter captures Sun's poles

The Solar Orbiter probe was the first instrument in history to conduct observations of the poles of our daytime star. This will help us better understand the Sun’s magnetic field, its activity cycles, and space weather. Experts from the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences (CBK PAN) participated in the construction of the probe.
