New Detailed Images of the Sun from the World’s Most Powerful Ground-Based Solar Telescope by ET_Exists
Image of a sunspot taken by the Inouye Solar Telescope. While they have a dark appearance, sunspots are responsible for solar flares and coronal mass ejections that produce solar storms. Sunspots often reach sizes that equal, or even dwarf, the size of the Earth. /Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. /National Solar Observatory )
Other features from the Inouye images include convection cells, which also reside in the Sun’s photosphere, and consist of upward- and downward-flowing plasma, known asor “bubbles”. The last feature in the Inouye images are fibrils, which exist in the Sun’s chromosphere and are produced from the magnetic field interactions within the Sun.
Image of solar fibrils, which exist in the Sun’s chromosphere and are produced from the magnetic field interactions within the Sun. for Inouye is to examine the Sun’s massive magnetic field in hopes of better understanding its lively behavior responsible for the aforementioned space weather. This weather is responsible for charged particles emanating from the Sun that interact with the Earth’s own magnetic field, which steers the particles to the north and south poles of our planet.
