How does the sun look like from a distance of 77 million kilometers?

Recently, the closest images ever taken of the sun have been taken by the camera at a distance of only 77 million kilometers from the surface of the sun.

The images were sent by the European Space Agency's Solar Arbiter, which was launched into space earlier this year.

The latest information provided by this arbitrator named Solo also includes images of the sun's rays which are called 'campfire'.

These rays are millions of times smaller than the sun, but they are regularly observed from Earth through a telescope.

These seemingly small rays may be responsible for the warm atmosphere around the sun, which is much warmer than its surface. This warm environment is also called corona.

Daniel Miller, a scientist working on the 'Aisa' project, says that the surface of the sun is not so hot and the temperature of its outer orbit is five and a half thousand degrees.

"Eugene Parker, a well-known American physicist, was of the opinion that if there were too many small rays around the sun, they would keep the corona extremely hot," he says.

David Burgmans of the Royal Observatory in Belgium heads the team working on the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager.

The Extreme Ultraviolet Imager is a collection of special telescopes designed to take pictures of the corona's structure around the sun.

David Bergmans says that whatever the role of these rays, but their size is very small, that is why they have been hidden from the eyes of scientists for so long.

The smallest of these rays is about two pixels. One pixel has a range of up to four hundred kilometers.

This is called a special resolution, which means that it will be the same size as many European countries. They may be smaller in size.

The satellite, launched by the European Space Agency in February, was launched by a rocket from the US Cape Canaveral station. The satellite's job is to find out about the sun's unique behavior.

The rays of the sun and the behavior of this star are not limited to conveying heat and light to the earth.

These rays from the sun disrupt the radio communication system and the magnetic orbit of the star shuts down the electrical devices in the satellite.

Research with the help of solo arbitrators will help scientists better understand this disorder.

Caroline Harper, head of the British Space Agency, says the corona virus has given us an idea of ​​how important it is to stay in touch with each other and that satellite communication systems are essential.

"That's why we need to better understand the sun's behavior so that we can predict its weather," he said. Just like we have understood the weather of the earth.

The devices on the solar orbiter will help him understand the behavior of the sun

This solar orbiter has made several orbits around the sun and will gradually get closer to it, until it and the sun are only less than 43 million kilometers away.

Keep in mind that our earth is about 150 million kilometers from the sun.

At the same time, the orbiter will enter the orbit of Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun.

The images sent were taken from the planet Venus.

These images reflect the part of the sun whose temperature ranges from ten thousand degrees to one hundred thousand degrees.

These images are historically the closest ever to the sun, but in terms of resolution, they are not the best ever.

Resolution means how many pixels are in an image. The more pixels there are, the better the image.

In that sense, the powerful telescopes on Earth are far better than solo orbiters.

But the technology and instruments used in this research, as well as the presence of six different sensing instruments, enhance its features.

Mark McGregor, a leading science and exploration adviser, told BBC News:

"This solar orbiter is not only going to get pictures of the sun, but it will also go to the part of the solar wind where it will not be too tight." It will conduct close research on magnetic orbits and cells there, as well as quickly detect and send back data about the surface of the sun so that the two pieces of information can be combined to better understand it. And no other mission or telescope can do that. "

As the mission progresses, with the help of the planet Venus, the orbiter will pull itself out of the planetary region so that it can reach a point where it can better see the polar parts of the sun.

Sami Solanki of the Max Planck Institute in Germany calls these parts 'terra incognitas', meaning areas that are unknown.

"From the pole of the sun, we may finally be able to learn about the sun's magnetic field," he said.

"We know that the sun's behavior depends on its magnetic orbit. But we do not know how this magnetic orbit is created. We estimate that this is the dynamo that is doing this from inside the sun.
