Our sun was ready for its close-up last month, and the new Solar Orbiter mission captured the closest images ever taken of the sun during its first pass. The images were released on Thursday.

The mission, which is a collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency, launched in February and conducted a close pass of the sun in mid-June. 

The images were taken at a distance of 47,845,581 miles away from the sun. This close pass, which is called a perihelion, was within the orbits of the two closest planets to the sun, Venus and Mercury.

"No images have been taken of the Sun at such a close distance before and the level of detail they provide is impressive," said David Long, co-principal investigator on the ESA Solar Orbiter Mission Extreme Ultraviolet Imager Investigation at University College London's Mullard Space Science Laboratory, in a statement.

"They show miniature flares across the surface of the Sun, which look like campfires that are millions of times smaller than the solar flares that we see from Earth," he said.

The pareidolia is strong in some of those shots. They kinda look like distorted, tortured faces and bodies.
