the Scientists have been able to get to the gedetailleerdste pictures of the surface of the sun, will ever have to take. The images have been created using a new powerful telescope of the National Science Foundation (NSF), which is the Haleakalavulkaan in the state of Hawaii.
The photos show, the sun, is covered with a pattern of white ‘boiling’ with gas. According to the researchers, the cell-like structures, each of which is about the size of the U.s. state of Texas, to be about twice the size of france).
Some of the details in the picture are so small that they are, in reality, only a cross-section of 30 km. And this despite the fact that the distance between the sun and earth is 150 million kilometers away, respectively.
it is Also called a plasma, is to see it first rises, and then cools down under the surface as it sinks. This will cause the dark bands between the ‘cells’. This process is also known as convection, is called.
the Researchers would like solar storms, are better able to predict
The investigators are going to have a lot more to do with the new Daniel K. Inouye-zonnetelescoop, which is a mirror with a diameter of four feet.
The study of the solar activity or space weather may be to scientists, for example, can help to address problems in the earth, and to predict the future. This allows the magnetic outbursts on the sun, satellites, interfere with gps off, travel, influence, and power outages can cause.
“This is the telescope that will help us to find the causes of solar activity to better understand it, so that we finally will be able to solar storms more accurately,” said NSF director France Córdova.
the Telescope uses the most detailed images ever of the sun’s
