The sharpest picture of the Sun was taken

Inouye telescope in Hawaii, USA has just taken pictures of the Sun's shell with dense plasma material. This is the sharpest picture ever taken of people.

On January 29, the National Science Foundation of America (NSF) released data and first observation images of the Inouye Sun telescope in Hawaii. Published photos and videos show circulating plasma models on the Sun's surface. This is considered the sharpest image of the sun ever recorded.

Inouye Sun Telescope was completed in Maui, Hawaii on June 30. This work is predicted to create a new era for solar science.

This is considered the sharpest image that humanity captures the sun.

Together with the other two telescopes, the work at Maui can help accurately predict future eruptions that cause dangerous solar storms.

According to scientists, the smallest moon spots lie between plasmas the size of Manhanttan County, New York, USA. Meanwhile, the size of a plasma is estimated to be nearly the state of Texas, USA.

"With the first try, we were able to capture the highest resolution images and movies on the surface of the Sun ever taken," said Thomas Rimmele, telescope executive director in a Press Conference.

"The first picture is a very tense but also very exciting moment. The atmosphere in the telescope control room is similar to a rocket launch. When the first images appear on the screen, they pass. My expectations , " Rimmele added.

Inouye telescope photos and videos have five times the resolution of previous Sun telescope images.

From the picture above, scientists think that the intense movement of the plasma helped transfer heat from the Sun's core into the atmosphere. This motion is called corona.

The telescope can also help scientists unravel the mysteries of space weather, even predicting the events of the Sun that could be dangerous to humans.
