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.

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.
