🔭 Sun's surface revealed in epic detail ☀️
Scientists managed to capture the most detailed images of the sun's surface ever before. This was achieved by researchers using the National Science Foundation's solar telescope located on Maui, Hawaii. The images, released on Wednesday in the journal Nature, show strange feathery patterns rippling across the sun's bright outer shell. These ripples are caused by magnetized plasma moving past each other at varying speeds. The data helps scientists better track coronal mass ejections that could cause solar storms near Earth.
