New images of the sun show its surface in the finest detail yet

Scientists using the Inouye Solar Telescope on Maui, Hawaii, have captured the highest-resolution images of the Sun’s photosphere ever recorded. Taken at 416 nm, these images reveal ultra-fine scale stripes and deformed boundaries of magnetic elements. These specific features are associated with Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. The observations provide an unprecedented look at the solar surface, showcasing strange feathery patterns rippling across the photosphere in the finest detail ever achieved by researchers in this field.
