New type of oscillations discovered on the sun (EN - NL - FR)

The Extreme Ultraviolet Imager aboard Solar Orbiter was able to observe magnetic loops that shake back and forth very quickly. Scientists suspect that it is these movements that heat the environment around the sun to millions of degrees Celsius.

EUI causes a revolution in solar physics (EN - FR - NL)

On March 26, 2022, the Solar Orbiter satellite came closer to the Sun than ever before. The images of this closest approach taken by the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager on board will revolutionize solar physics! 

Come see SUN! (05.04.2022 – 24.04.2022)

Marvel at the beauty of our closest star with a 3D projection of state-of-the-art telescope images on a gigantic hanging 6-meter diameter balloon. You have never been this close to the Sun! 

A patchwork image of the Sun (EN - NL - FR)

On 7 March, 2022, the high-resolution telescope of the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) onboard the Solar Orbiter spacecraft made a mosaic image of the solar disk.

Press Release - Unique images of a solar cloud

On February 15, 2022, an immense cloud escaped from the sun. The space telescope EUI onboard the Solar Orbiter satellite could capture the solar cloud while it was hurled into space.

Solar Orbiter returns to Earth for a last goodbye (EN - NL - FR)

On 27 November 2021, the Solar Orbiter spacecraft returns from its voyages in deep space, and will pass at only a few hundred kilometers above the Earth's surface. This manoeuvre is needed to get Solar Orbiter in a new orbit to go yet closer to the Sun. During this flyby, Solar Orbiter unfortunately needs to cross the clouds of space junk that surround Earth, making it a risky visit to our planet.

The NANOK expedition

Two Belgian adventurers collaborate with STCE scientists during an untypical triathlon in Greenland in April 2022: 600 km with skis and a pulka, 1000 km sea kayaking and 1 km vertical rock ascent. Nanok is a polar bear in the Inuit culture.

EUI reveals campfires on the Sun

ESA made the first images and data of the instruments on board the spacecraft Solar Orbiter public. The telescope EUI, under Belgian lead, discovered campfires on the Sun.

EUI ready to observe the Sun, despite COVID-19!

May 12 is the day of the truth: the first image of the Sun taken by EUI onboard Solar Orbiter will come down. Will it be OK or not? The operations are led by the EUI team working from home. (NL/FR/EN)

The EUI Telescope is Waking up

The telescope Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI), onboard of the Solar Orbiter spacecraft got a wake up call sent from ESOC, Darmstadt on February 25. At this stage, we can happily report that EUI is awake!
