This new image reveals a sunspot in unrivaled detail
A solar telescope in Hawaii is providing the sharpest views of the sun ever seen
This close-up of a sunspot comes courtesy of the new Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope in Hawaii. The dark spot at the center spans roughly 6,000 kilometers, while the wreath of puckered plasma measures about 15,000 kilometers across — wider than the diameter of Earth.
