Europe and NASA's Solar Orbiter rocketed into space Sunday night on an unprecedented mission to capture the first pictures of the sun's elusive poles.
The 1.5 billion US dollars spacecraft will join NASA's Parker Solar Probe in coming close to the sun in order to unveil its secrets.
Solar Orbiter Project Scientist Daniel Muller:
"And so the Orbiter will be the first time that we send a satellite out to take images of the sun's poles. And in addition, getting the first ever data off the polar magnetic field. And we believe that this really holds the keys to unraveling the mysteries of the sun's activity cycle."
NASA says that at its closest approach, Solar Orbiter will be about approximately 42 million kilometers from the Sun.
Scientists say solar Orbiter will maneuver into a unique out-of-plane orbit that will take it over both poles, never photographed before.
