European Space Agency releases first Solar Orbiter data to scientists, public

Solar Orbiter was launched on February 10, 2020, and carries six remote-sensing instruments, or telescopes, that image the Sun and its surroundings, and four in situ instruments that monitor the environment around the spacecraft. By comparing the data from both sets of instruments, scientists get insights into the generation of the solar wind, the stream of charged particles from the Sun that influences the entire Solar System. Earlier on July 16, 2020, the first images from Solar Orbiter had revealed omnipresent miniature solar flares, dubbed ‘campfires’, near the surface of the Sun.

Can a star be older than the universe? Astronomers decode the mystery

Astronomers have been closely observing a star located some 190 light years away from Earth for over 100 years now and HD 140283 is also believed to be one of the oldest known stars in universe. In 2000, astronomers tried to date the star using the European Space Agency's (ESA) Hipparcos satellite and concluded that the star is around 16 billion years old. The age of this star is surprising because according to astronomer Howard Bond of Pennsylvania State University, the age of the universe is 13.8 billion years.
