Groundbreaking new images of the Sun, captured using advanced coronal adaptive optics, reveal details of the corona at unprecedented resolution, improving from over 620 miles to less than 40 miles. This innovative technology addresses long-standing atmospheric blurriness that hindered astronomical observations. The long-awaited clear images highlight fine structures within the Sun's corona, sparking excitement among scientists due to the potential new insights into solar activity. Researchers believe these images will revolutionize our understanding of solar phenomena.
These are by far the most detailed observations of this kind, showing features not previously observed, and it's not quite clear what they are.
It is super exciting to build an instrument that shows us the Sun like never before.
