Each image you have ever seen from the sun is looking at its equator, because the earth’s orbit is there with an inclination of 7.25 degrees. This means that humans have never had a good angle to see the north and southern poles of the sun so far. THE The European Space Agency has published images North and southern poles of the sun, giving everyone their first overview at the top and bottom of our nearest star.
THE imagery was taken by the ESA solar orbit, which started its trek to see the polar regions of the sun In 2020. To do this, the orbiter hired his boosters, made some adjustments and gathered in Venus at 27,000 miles per hour.
Once he reached his destination, he took images using his polarimetric and heliosemical imaging (PHI), the extreme ultraviolet imaging (EUI) and the spectrum imaging of the coronal environmental instrument (Spice).
“Today, we reveal the first views of humanity on the Post of the Sun,” said Professor Carole Mundell, director of sciences at ESA, in a blog article. “The sun is our closest star, a donor of life and a potential disruptor of modern space systems and earthly energy, it is therefore imperative that we understand how it works and learns to predict its behavior. These new unique views of our solar orbit mission are the beginning of a new era of solar science.”

The images are visible above or in a YouTube video on ESA canals. In the video, you can see the view that we generally terrify before the video passes from the point of view of the solar orbiter and zooms so that you can see the bottom of the sun in all its hot and fiery glory. The video lasts only 50 seconds, but it is 50 seconds of sequences that humans have never seen before.
Most images and videos of ESA are from the southern pole of the sun, but the blog Also includes imagery of the North Pole. For the most part, scientists did not know what to expect data, since it is the first time that all human had already seen it.
The full data set of the orbiter’s first pole-pole adventure should reach the land by October 2025, which will give scientists much more to work in terms of understanding the functioning of the sun. Future orbits will include measures from the 10 tools of the orbiter, so even more information are coming in the coming years.
