These include observations from the far side of the Sun, at high latitudes including over the solar poles, or from near-quadrature angles relative to the Earth (e.g., the Sun-Earth L4 and L5 Lagrangian points). Such observations fill known holes in our scientific understanding of the three-dimensional, time-evolving Sun and heliosphere, and have the potential to open new frontiers through discoveries enabled by novel viewpoints.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-05-23T23:30:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "solar physics", "unconventional viewpoints", "l5 lagrangian points", "observations", "vantage points away" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
