ESA Uses Solar Orbiter to Turn Solar Flares into Sound, Offering New Insights
The European Space Agency (ESA), in collaboration with NASA, has used data from the Solar Orbiter mission to convert solar flares into audible sound. By mapping solar flare data into blue circles and pairing them with tones, a new way to experience solar activity has been created. This process is linked to the sun’s 11-year solar cycle, with curr...

ESA Cluster Mission Satellite Successfully Reenters Earth After Spending 24 Years in Space
The European Space Agency (ESA) is concluding the Cluster mission, with the first of four satellites safely reentering Earth's atmosphere. This marks the end of a mission that has provided 24 years of valuable space data. In January, the satellite's orbit was adjusted to ensure its reentry would target an uninhabited area, reducing risks for humans...
