Scientists behind a Sun-observing probe applied a simple hack to one of its cameras, allowing them to peer into rarely seen regions of the Sun’s atmosphere.
For the past 17 years, a lone spacecraft has been following Earth’s tracks in its orbit around the Sun and capturing unprecedented views of our host star.
