Many thanks to @Hunt2behunter. He responsibly notified us about a security issue on our systems. We much appreciate the efforts of the white hat community.

☀️🧲 Did you know that #SolarOrbiter can see vivid changes in the Sun as it goes through its 11-year magnetic activity cycle? As we approach 'solar maximum' (expected 2025), we see more brilliant explosions, dark sunspots and swirls of super-hot gas 💥 👉esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Image… #TheSunUpClose #SolarSystemExplorers #WeAreAllSolarOrbiters

#SolarOrbiter's second close encounter with the Sun is delivering stunning data of our home star This movie comes from 13 Oct when @esasolarorbiter’s @EuiTelescope returned the highest resolution movie of the quiet corona ever taken 📹esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Video… #ExploreFarther

Yesterday, @ESASolarOrbiter flew by #Venus for a #GravityAssist that brings it 4.5 mil km closer to the Sun. As the🛰️ cosied up to the planet, the Sun flung an enormous coronal mass ejection straight at the pair➡️esa.int/Enabling_Support/Ope… #SpaceSafety🌞

It’s only Monday but we’re thinking about the weekend for #SolarOrbiter's next #VenusFlyby! 🛰🟠⤴️ Close approach on 4 Sept is ~01:26UTC at an altitude of ~6420km to adjust its orbit around the Sun; subsequent flybys will raise inclination to see more of the Sun's polar regions.

Many solar activity secrets lie hidden at the Sun's poles. This tantalizing view of the Sun’s south pole on 30 March is a hint of what’s to come. #SolarOrbiter will use Venus gravity to crank up its orbit inclination for a more top-down viewpoint youtube.com/watch?v=X3CTpd21…
