The new Solar Orbiter imaging mode reveals the most exciting part of the sun's atmosphere.
But it is in the part of the light spectrum that is only visible to EUI that scientists can study the most intriguing phenomena that occur at the boundary between the sun's atmosphere and its surface.
"Physics is changing there, the magnetic structures are changing there, and we never really had a good look at it before," David Berghmans, EUI principal investigator and solar physicist at the Royal Observatory of Belgium, said in the statement."There must be some secrets in there that we can now find."
EUI science team member Frédéric Auchère, an astrophysicist at the Institute of Astrophysics of the Université Paris-Sud in France, described the new imaging mode as a result of"a hack," a last-minute modification devised before the launch of Solar Orbiter in early 2020. statementThe scientists added a tiny protruding"thumb" to the instruments shutter.
In the video sequence obtained through the new imaging mode, scientists combined the Solar Orbiter's EUI view of the sun's atmosphere with an image of the star taken by

Camera 'hack' lets Solar Orbiter peer deeper into sun's atmosphereScientists have used Solar Orbiter's EUI camera in a new mode of operation to record part of the sun's atmosphere at extreme ultraviolet wavelengths that has been almost impossible to image until now. This new mode of operation was made possible with a last-minute 'hack' to the camera and will almost certainly influence new solar instruments for future missions.
