NASA shares closest pictures of the Sun taken by Solar Orbiter

NASA on Thursday made the first images from ESA and NASA's Solar Orbiter available to the public, including the closest pictures ever taken of the Sun by a spacecraft. 

The images were taken in mid-June when Solar Orbiter flew within 48 million miles of the Sun. Images also show tiny solar flares dotting the Sun's surface which scientists dubbed 'campfires'.
