ESA?s missions to the Sun
ESA?s new Sun-explorer, Solar Orbiter, will capture close-up images of never before seen regions of our parent star, including the poles, and study the electromagnetic environment in its vicinity. The cutting-edge spacecraft will get as close as 42 million kilometres away from the Sun, about a quarter of the distance between the Sun and Earth, and face scorching temperatures of up to 500?C.
ESA has a long history of studying the Sun from space. Since the launch of Ulysses in 1990, the agency has led or cooperated on several Sun-exploring missions including SOHO, the Cluster quartet and Proba-2.

It?s easy to go to the sun without burning up, just go at night time.

Do you think man will ever walk on the sun?
Congratulations to the successful launch. Looking forward to the data.
I wonder how the sun came to be….? a mass that just spontaneously caught fire? (if so… how?)….? maybe the mass got hit by an asteroid and caught fire, but if so, doesn't there have to be oxygen present?? I do love to watch the live feeds of the sun, all thanks to ESA and SOHO!
Bello! ??
Good luck on learning more knowledge about our own Star.
When will ESA go to the moon?
Yes esa
