The ESA Solar Orbiter spacecraft's orbit close to the Sun is enabling it to take the highest resolution complete views of the Suns disc to date.
Its now slowly increasing its orbit tilt to take images of the Suns poles.

After 12 years ESA's GAIA spacecraft makes its last science observation today.
It has revolutionised our knowledge of the galaxy, and will continue to do so as much of its recorded data has yet to be analysed.
More highlights of this mission later..

Mercator Projection is the name of type of map, it distorts land size the further they get from the equator.
Look at a globe 😄.
