The photo today is of the Solar Orbiter launch on Atlas V 411 in 2020.  This active mission, a joint ESA/NASA project, is designed to obtain detailed measurements of the inner heliosphere and the nascent solar wind and will also perform close observations of the polar regions of the Sun which is difficult to do from Earth. These observations are important in investigating how the Sun creates and controls its heliosphere.   Photo Credit: NASA.
