Solar Orbiter Captures Incredible Footage of Tiny Jets Near the Sun’s South Pole

The above 40-second video is sped-up footage of the new-found jets flashing briefly near the Suns south pole.

Charged particles use the magnetic field lines to flow away from the Sun, creating solar wind.

Surprisingly, the researchers could also trace back slow solar wind to the tiny jets.
