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: go.nasa.gov/398Uxiw

See the Sun in a new light! @NSF's Inouye Solar Telescope has produced the highest resolution observations of the Sun's surface ever taken, a unique view that complements the host of ways we study our star from space. 🤩

How can we use our most recent findings to learn something about the past? New advances in artificial intelligence make it possible to induce our new knowledge directly into previous observations. A new post in our #TheScienceOfEST series: est-east.eu/est/index.php?op…

. The @NSF's Inouye Solar Telescope images the sun in more detail than we’ve ever before. Close up, these images show, for the first time, the smallest features ever seen on the solar surface, some as small as 30km. #2020SolarVision Background: NISP/GONG.
