US EditionIn Photos: Sharpest-Ever Views Of The Sun’s Surface Reveal ‘Stripes’
- Researchers employed the cutting-edge solar telescope located on Maui to obtain the most detailed images ever of the Sun’s surface, uncovering extremely narrow magnetic patterns.
- This achievement was possible because the telescope's unprecedented resolution of about 20 kilometers enabled researchers to observe fine-scale magnetic structures not seen before.
- The images showed striations about 12 miles wide that act as fingerprints of subtle but powerful magnetic field fluctuations shaping solar surface dynamics.
- Dr. David Kuridze explained that the observed stripes reveal subtle variations in the magnetic field at small scales, while Dr. Han Uitenbroek pointed out that similarly patterned magnetic features have been detected in far-off astrophysical environments.
- These insights improve understanding of solar magnetism and space weather, which can impact technological systems on Earth, showing the telescope’s vital role in solar research.

Revealed: the first ever picture of the sun's north pole
This view of the sun's north pole was stitched together from other images Here’s a view you’ve never seen before. Detailed images of the sun in all its blazing glory – with coronal loops, sunspots and solar flares – have become common, thanks to the small fleet of sun-watchers that orbit the inferno. But all …
