- New images of the sun show its surface in the finest detail yet
Scientists captured the highest-resolution images of the sun's surface using the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, revealing dynamic feathery patterns caused by magnetized plasma movements. The findings, published in Nature, could improve understanding of solar phenomena like coronal mass ejections that impact Earth.
- New images of the sun show its surface in the finest detail yet
Scientists used the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope to capture the highest-resolution images of the sun's surface yet, revealing feathery patterns caused by magnetized plasma ripples. The findings, published in Nature, aim to improve tracking of solar storms that can disrupt Earth's communications.
- Most-detailed-ever image of sun reveals roiling waves for first time
Astronomers captured the highest-resolution image of the sun's surface, revealing Kelvin–Helmholtz instabilities (KHI) for the first time. The discovery, made at the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope in Hawaii, may improve predictions of solar weather and its impact on Earth.
- A sharper look at the sun reveals a missing piece of the puzzle
High-resolution images from the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope revealed Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities on the sun's surface for the first time, offering insights into solar eruptions and their impact on Earth's technology. Published in Nature, the discovery confirms a fluid dynamics phenomenon that could improve models of solar behavior.
