The scientists released a very remarkable and detailed picture Sunspot Humans have never seen it before.
Picture taken, January 28th Inouye solar telescope, Shows small magnetic structures as small as 20 kilometers above the surface of the sun, said Thomas Rimmel, associate director of the National Solar Laboratory (NSO) of the NSAP. National Science Foundation Report. NSF builds and operates the telescope that captured the image, which was released on December 3. The solar telescope is the largest dedicated to observing the sun.
The image of this sunspot measures only a small part of the Sun, at a distance of 10,000 miles (16,100 km), large enough to fit easily inside the Earth. When you look at the sunspot, you will notice a dark center that looks like bright feathers on the outside.

The dark area shows the concentration of magnetic fields that prevent heat from reaching the surface. Although this dark part is cooler than its brighter parts Sunspot, Which is still above 7,500 degrees Fahrenheit (4,100 degrees Celsius).
According to the NSF, the lines exiting the dark region represent patches of hot and cold gas sculpted by the fusion of intense magnetic fields and hot gases.
This image of sunlight was captured by the Innoi Solar Telescope before the facility was completed. Thanks to the advanced optics of the telescope and the 13-foot (4 m) primary glass The arrival of the new solar cycle With an increase in activity.
“We can now point to the world’s most advanced solar telescope to capture and share incredibly detailed images and add to our scientific insights into the workings of the sun,” says Matt Mountain, president of the Association of Universities for Astronomical Research. Inouye Solar Telescope, NSF report said.
Construction of the Inouye Solar Telescope is scheduled for completion in 2021.
