The Sun's Turbulent North Pole Looks Like a Spooky Vortex in This Composite Image

Today, may we recommend a visit to the north pole of the sun? Even with satellite footage, our view of the sun is pretty much limited to the solar disc — the circular profile of the sun that we can see plainly from Earth. The northern and southern poles of our closest star have never been directly observed, but scientists at the European Space Agency have made a habit of creating daily composite images of the sun's north pole using some clever time-lapse photography.
