As much as I love traveling around Earth, space is still the ultimate frontier.

The ESA made a remarkable step in studying solar phenomena and space weather, and achieved the first view of the pole in the history of humanity. It is a significant step towards better understanding the sun and its impact on us, from the [auroras](https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/communities/aurora-dashboard-experimental?ref=leadfromthefront.ebmeridian.com) to [satellite management](https://www.astronomy.com/science/solar-storms-can-easily-destroy-satellites-a-space-weather-expert-explains-the-science/?ref=leadfromthefront.ebmeridian.com) and potential disruptions such as the [Carrington Event](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington%5FEvent?ref=leadfromthefront.ebmeridian.com).
