The images were taken on March 16th and 17th of this year, but ESA has only now published them. The poles of the Sun have been largely unexplored until now, and no space probe has ever seen them before, writes the ESA. Solar Orbiter's trajectory was recently inclined by 17 degrees to the solar equator, allowing brand-new measurements from a unique perspective for the first time.
At the time of the flyby, the probe had a clear view of the south pole and the probe's viewing angle to the Sun was around 15 degrees below the solar equator. With the Sun currently at solar maximum of its 11-year activity cycle, there was a lot to see during the flyby. ESA puts it this way: "At the south pole, the Sun's magnetic field is currently a mess. While a normal magnet has a clear north and south pole, the PHI instrument's magnetic field

Apple's new macOS Tahoe is first defined by its "Liquid Glass" design aesthetic, a new universal design language, that I think hearkens back to Windows 10 and earlier versions of Windows operating systems.

There are also shortcuts or macros to help you complete tasks, and a phone application that looks as rich as what Microsoft offers. There's even a rudimentary Game Bar.
I much prefer Windows over macOS, and have used Windows and Android products for decades. Nonetheless, there have been a few times that I've been impressed with what Apple has accomplished—the Apple Watch integration with iOS, for example. There's a level of polish and integration here that I think Microsoft should pay attention to.
If I had to sum it up: What I use on a day-to-day basis on Windows feels like a rough draft. What Apple showed off at WWDC seems more like the final product.
Warm and rich
From day one of Windows 11, I wrote that Windows 11 felt like an unnecessary replacement for Windows 10. I've since changed my mind about that, in part because Microsof
