Scientists have captured the highest-resolution images yet of the Sun's surface using the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope in Hawaii. The images reveal previously unseen feathery plasma patterns and ripples that could help researchers better understand solar storms, coronal mass ejections and their potential impact on GPS systems and Earth.
New Delhi, August 6, 2026: Scientists have captured the most detailed images yet of the Sun's surface, revealing an unusual and constantly changing façade, including strange feathery patterns.
Telescope Captures Unprecedented Detail
Researchers used the National Science Foundation's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope on Maui, Hawaii, to observe the Sun's scorching surface. Looking directly at the Sun without proper eye protection is dangerous.
The scientists had originally taken the images to fine-tune the telescope and test its limits. However, when they examined the results, they realised they had photographed the Sun's bright outer shell at a higher resolution than ever before.
