Inouye Telescope Captures Countless Vortices on Sun’s Surface at Highest Resolution, Key to Unlocking Magnetic Mysteries — BigGo Finance
The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, the world’s largest solar telescope located atop Haleakalā on the island of Maui, Hawaii, has achieved its highest resolution yet in observing the sun’s surface. It has successfully captured, for the first time, vortex phenomena known as “Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities,” which had been theoretically predicted for many years. This discovery…
