Featured on February 4, 2020
A mission scheduled for launch in early February will catch a unique view of the Sun. Solar Orbiter, shown in an artist's concept, is a European mission that will view the Sun's poles, which are impossible to see from Earth. That will help it determine the origin of the solar wind, a flow of charged particles from the Sun that blows throughout the solar system. [ESA]
