First detailed image of the Sun's surface
A recent study has captured the most accurate image of the sun's surface using a new telescope, revealing hot, swirling plasma with sizes ranging from 19 to 160 kilometers. It is believed that these swirls help explain how the sun stores and releases energy, as well as the reason for the higher temperature of its outer atmosphere compared to its surface. This phenomenon is a first of its kind and was observed during precise calibration of the Daniel K. Inouye Telescope in Hawaii, where scientists unexpectedly discovered it during a space mission.
