This is so good to see!
Tiny magnetic episodes may have large consequences on the Sun.

The @ERC_Research Advanced Grants competition results are out. Over €544 million in funding for leading researchers. One of the ERC Advanced Grants has been awarded to Sami Solanki from #MPSGoettingen. Together with his team, he intends to use observations from ESA #SolarOrbiter and #DKIST to answer longstanding questions about the #Sun

Imagery like this makes me wonder how Mercury exists and isn't a small, burned, flake-like crisp!
Mercury’s black disc helps sharpen Solar Orbiter’s view.

Guess what, there was a #transit of #Mercury this year, in front of both the disk of the Sun and the solar corona on 3 January ... as seen by the #SolarOrbiter far from the Earth which got nothing of this sort: https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Solar_Orbiter/Mercury_s_black_disc_helps_sharpen_Solar_Orbiter_s_view

BepiColombo mission confirms stagnation region of Venus and reveals its large extent: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-35061-3 -> #BepiColombo and #SolarOrbiter compare notes at #Venus: https://www.europlanet-society.org/bepicolombo-and-solar-orbiter-compare-notes-at-venus/

#ESA's #SolarOrbiter captured images of a 'tube' of cooler plasma slithering across the #sun's surface, following a filament of the magnetic field.

But as anyone who's played a #D&D space adventure can tell you, STAY AWAY! Solar Dragons have a CR of 20! It will burn your whole party (and #spelljammer ship) to a crisp.

#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

Tune in tomorrow, July 16, at 8am EDT to see the first views of the Sun from #SolarOrbiter: https://t.co/R0GpOeoVY7 Until then, dive into the mission with @ESASolarOrbiter ⬇️ https://t.co/9IyNfvrxoX https://twitter.com/NASASun/status/1283573529720520704

Launched in February, #SolarOrbiter performed its first close approach to the #Sun in mid June, getting just 77 million km from its surface and capturing the closest ever images of our parent star 🌞🛰️📷 These brand new views will be released tomorrow. Stay tuned #TheSunUpClose https://t.co/DZxsklFkht https://twitter.com/ESASolarOrbiter/status/1283370967683813376

It's a very special #SunDay! Tonight, @ESASolarOrbiter heads to space to give us a new perspective on the Sun. To beat the heat, #SolarOrbiter has a 15-inch-thick heat shield that keeps the instruments cool as it approaches our star: https://go.nasa.gov/398Uxiw pic.twitter.com/kUPDJauYBU https://twitter.com/NASASun/status/1226544834703482886
