A #SolarOrbiter success story! A key mission goal was to link the solar wind detected around the spacecraft back to its source regions on the Sun. A new paper, using data taken during our first close approach to the Sun, confirms that it's possible. More👉esa.int/Science_Explor…

Professor Rob Fear from University of Southampton presents on 'Solar wind/Magnetosphere Coupling during periods of Northward IMF', during our monthly Solar System meeting with MSSL Solar Group and MSSL Planetary Science.

Current and past PhD students from our group presented their works at Hinode/IRIS/SPHERE meeting in Montana, US Well done !!☀️

Our PhD student, Julio, present his poster at European Space Weather Week 2024 ESWW in Coimbra, Portugal. 🇵🇹 His work use machine learning model and CME catalogue to identify which active regions might produce CME in the future. ☀️ #ESWW2024

🎉A huge congratulation to James McKevitt @jemckevitt , our group member who is just received the MSSL’s Alan Johnstone Award for outstanding scientific achievement by a research student. 👏 James works on both solar physics research and development of the upcoming Solar-C ☀️

🎉 Another huge congratulations to Dr Alex James, our group member who also just received the MSSL’s Robert Boyd Award for outstanding scientific achievement. 👏 Alex’s works help us better understand solar eruptions. He also leads the Solar Orbiter’s observation campaign.☀️

💫🎉 Behind every successful ESA space mission, there is a woman. Behind Solar Orbiter, there are more than a hundred of them! Yesterday, we celebrated our 5th launch anniversary - Join us today in celebrating these women who make our mission a success, on international day of

🌞 See the Sun from a whole new angle. For the first time, our Solar Orbiter mission has captured close-up images of the Sun’s mysterious poles, regions long hidden from our view. In 2025, Solar Orbiter gave us a first-ever look at the Sun’s south pole. Remarkably, it
