#SolarOrbiter has made its first close pass by the Sun, studying our star and space with a comprehensive suite of instruments — and the data is already revealing previously unseen details. This is #TheSunUpClose. https://go.nasa.gov/3fB355k pic.twitter.com/YLKBXRNQZb
Data from the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager reveals tiny “campfires” dotting the Sun’s surface — bright spots that may be related to nanoflares, which are one possible explanation for the incredible heating of the Sun’s outer atmosphere, the corona.pic.twitter.com/7WFiL6Yf4s
The Solar and Heliospheric Imager captured this view of the zodiacal light (the bright blob on the right) — light from the Sun reflecting off of interplanetary dust. To see it, the instrument had to reduce the Sun’s light to one trillionth of its original brightness.pic.twitter.com/EXF2miUxiV
#SolarOrbiter’s Polar and Helioseismic Imager surveys the Sun’s magnetic field. It will have its heyday later in the mission as Solar Orbiter gradually tilts its orbit to 24 degrees above the plane of the planets, giving it an unprecedented view of the Sun’s poles.pic.twitter.com/EubQbMlK2M
The Metis instrument is a coronagraph, which blocks out the Sun’s bright face to study the comparatively faint outer atmosphere, the corona. Metis captures simultaneous images in both visible and ultraviolet light, helping scientists unravel the dynamics of the corona.pic.twitter.com/9VP2WzOW8t
These are just a few highlights from @ESASolarOrbiter’s first data release.

Oh wow, I am almost crying! Incredible!!! Love it 
Super cool! I mean HOT
Don't stare into the Sun for so long.
So beautiful. I will have to look more into this. Never seen such real pictures that show such stunning details of our beautiful star!
