The Sun: First High Resolution Images (6-panel) | Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope

The Sun: First High Resolution Images (6-panel) | Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope 

The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope has produced the highest resolution observations of the Sun’s surface ever taken. In this movie, taken at a wavelength of 705nm over a period of 10 minutes, we can see features as small as 30km (18 miles) in size for the first time ever. The movie shows the turbulent, “boiling” gas that covers the entire sun.
