The European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA's Solar Orbiter captured detailed images of the Sun. It's the highest resolution image of the Sun's full disc and outer atmosphere, the corona, ever taken, according to a post by ESA. "At the 2 o'clock...and 8 o'clock positions on the edges...dark filaments can be seen projecting away from the surface," it read.
