A European satellite way way out in space has adjusted its orbit so it could see the north and south poles of the Sun.
The articles about this say it was a first. But I thought the Ulysses mission did this several years ago?
OK, well, no it didn't. It did orbit over both poles of the Sun, but it was examining the solar wind environment out there.
So yes, this was a first.

It's fascinating. See for yourself.
