• •NASA's JEDI Imager will launch on the European Space Agency's Vigil space weather mission in 2031.
• •JEDI will study the sun's atmosphere in a less-explored region and at a different angle, at Lagrange Point 5 (L5).
• •JEDI will provide the side view of solar storms as they're coming to Earth.

NASA's Joint Extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) coronal Diagnostic Investigation, also known as JEDI, is a state-of-the-art multi-thermal EUV imager that will include two telescopes, specific to studying the solar wind and extreme space weather events. It is planned to take flight on the European Space Agency (ESA)'s Vigil space weather mission in 2031, and will allow scientists to get an even deeper understand of space weather by studying the sun's atmosphere in a less-explored region and at a different angle; at Lagrange Point 5 (L5).
