Are those... tendrils?
taken by the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope in Hawaii show incredibly vivid details of the surface of the Sun.
The images show the intricate features of a sunspot, which are isolated areas dotting the Sun's surface where the magnetic field is. Thanks to these strong magnetic forces, the surrounding plasma cools and darkens, forming a dark spot, or umbra. The newly released images show convection currents of roiling plasma at an incredible level of detail, with almost biological-looking tendrils reaching into the sunspot's umbra.
The scale of the spots is truly mind-blowing. The individual tendrils reach across an area of tens of thousands of kilometers. Some sunspots can grow big enough in diameter to fit theThe images could give scientists new insights into the nature of these sunspots and how they can trigger solar storms when grouped together.
And that means we should prepare ourselves for even stranger snapshots of the Sun's alien surface in the near future. We can't wait.
