🔭 Historic Footage: First Images of the Sun's Pole Taken! 🌞

 

The Solar Orbiter spacecraft launched by the European Space Agency has taken the first ever image of the Sun's south pole and sent it back to Earth.
🔬 Scientists say the images will help us better understand how the Sun alternates between active and quiet periods. Powerful solar flares can also negatively impact satellite communications and power grids on Earth.
