Scientists Finally See Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability on the Sun

The Sun’s surface is not a smooth, glowing shell. It is a restless layer of boiling plasma, threaded by magnetic fields and covered in motions that are far too small for most telescopes to resolve. A new study has now captured one of those motions in detail: tiny vortices forming where magnetized plasma meets the […] The post Scientists Finally See Tiny Vortices on the Sun appeared first on Curiosmos.
