Watching the Sun: How the Solar Orbiter's Camera Was Hacked to Peer into Our Star
NASA recently announced a major hack to the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter spacecraft, a space mission designed to study the Sun in unprecedented detail. The hack, which was discovered by the mission’s engineers, was to add a camera to the spacecraft to take pictures of the Sun up close. This unique camera will allow us to study the Sun in ways never before seen. With it, we will be able to observe the Sun’s magnetic fields, its surface activity, and its overall structure. This is an exciting new development for the Solar Orbiter mission and is sure to yield valuable insights into our closest star!
