A group of scientists at the US Aerospace Agency used special telescopes to carry Hi-C to capture the most detailed sun image ever.
Hi-C telescopes are mounted on missiles longer than 17m to glide over part of the orbit for about 10 minutes. During that time, a telescope camera captured 165 photos of the area that scientists have discovered over a month ago. After completing the mission, Hi-C returns to Earth and lands on a location in the state of Mexico.
Scientists at NASA point the Hi-C camera into the area they consider imminent to operate extremely strong magnetic fields due to a dark spot appearing on the sun. And they were not disappointed, because they had obtained a very detailed video of the halo that made the vortex. NASA says the Hi-C telescope can capture details of the sun over 139 miles wide.
