On March 26, the ESA's Solar Orbiter made its closest approach to the sun so far.
It ventured inside Mercury's orbit and was about one-third the distance from Earth to the sun.
It was hot but worth it.
The Solar Orbiter's primary mission is to understand the connection between the sun and its heliosphere, and new images from the close approach are helping build that understanding.
