The Sun's polar regions are pretty busy and chaotic places, but our newfound views of its south pole will help predict future solar activity.

The craft helped solar boffins to discover that Sol’s north and south magnetic poles are both on the southern side of the star, as seen from Earth. Scientists don’t know why and ESA rates the current ...

The robotic Solar Orbiter spacecraft has obtained the first images ever taken of our sun's two poles as scientists seek a deeper understanding of Earth's host star, including its magnetic field, its ...
