Solar Encounter of the High-Tech Kind We are quickly approaching an auspicious time for solar science. An impressive cadre of Sun-targeted missions has recently come online to replace or support an aging fleet of spacecraft, just as solar max is about to set in. In our September issue, Eos is staring straight into this bright future. In February 2020, Solar Orbiter launched from Florida, carrying 10 state-of-the-art instruments to make the closest ever observations of the Sun.

The Career Issue One of the reasons I went to law school (I know, this is a science magazine—stay with me a second) is because when I was young, people would always say, “You can do anything with a law degree!” But nearly everyone I met during school and shortly after graduation was an attorney at a law firm. It took many years of life experience to find alternative routes to better- suited careers in which my education would still be useful. Last year, Eos published its first Career Issue.

Field Trip Every issue of Eos is for you, the explorer. Whether you’re strapping into a helicopter to fly over a volcano, sifting through data to find patterns, or reading through the latest science news, you’re dedicated to seeking the new and wonderous. Our July issue is all about that urge to set out on a voyage of discovery. Of course, that isn’t always possible to do in person, but Earth and space scientists are innovators when it comes to bringing the world to our doorstep.
