Highest-resolution images of the sun’s surface here!
The Inouye Solar Telescope has captured the highest-resolution images of the sun's surface yet. They show instabilities that may help explain the hot surface. The post Highest-resolution images of the sun’s surface here! first appeared on EarthSky .
Scientists have captured the highest-resolution images of the sun's surface using the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope on Hawaii's Haleakal? volcano. This breakthrough photograph reveals small-scale and dynamic swirling patterns, confirming the existence of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability—a phenomenon previously only theorized. The finding, published in the journal Nature, could fundamentally change our understanding of solar activity and its potential impact on Earth's technological infrastructure.
