Scientists have just released one of the most amazing and detailed images of Sunspot Men have never seen.
This image, January. Taken by 28 Innoye Solar Telescope, Showing small magnetic structures about 20 kilometers above the surface of the sun, said Thomas Rimmel, associate director of the NSF’s National Solar Observatory (NSO). Statement of National Science Foundation. NSF This picture-capture telescope is manufactured and operated by December. Was released on the 3rd. The solar telescope is the largest dedicated to observing the sun.
While the image of this sunspot measures a small portion of the sun, it is only about 10,000 miles (16,100 kilometers) away so that the earth can easily sit inside. Looking at the sunspot, you will see a dark center that looks like it appears in the bright part of the outside.

The dark region shows the concentration of the magnetic field that prevents the heat inside the sun from reaching the surface. Yet this darker area is cooler than the brighter parts of it Sunspot, It is still higher than 7,500 degrees Fahrenheit (4,100 degrees Celsius).
According to the DSF, streaks extending from the darker region indicate that hot and cold gas patches are boiling from below due to the integration of intense magnetic fields and hot gases, the NSF said.
The Inoi Solar Telescope pulled this image of the sunspot before the facility was completed. The NSF says the image is indicative of spectacular views of the incoming sun, advanced telescope optics and a 13-foot (4 m) primary mirror and Advent of new solar cycle With enthusiasm in activity.
“We can now point to the world’s most advanced solar telescope to obtain and share incredibly detailed images of the direction of the sun and to add to our scientific understanding of the activity of the sun,” said Matt Mountain, Enoin Solar, president of the University for Astronomy research Is.
Construction of the Inoi Solar Telescope is scheduled for completion in 2021.
