The Clearest Photos of Sunspots Ever

Our star, the Sun, which has made life possible on our planet with its energy for millions of years, is being displayed more clearly every day with the development of technology. The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, the architect of the record-breaking images, this time sunspots managed to show it up close.

Images shared by the US National Solar Observatory show the inside of the black dots on the Sun. more clearly than ever It made us see. The rotating convection cells and the movement of the plasma within the spots could be clearly distinguished.

The clearest photos of sunspots:

What is a sunspot?

Sunspots are seen at points where the magnetic field has a higher intensity than any other point on the Sun, and they appear black to us because the temperature is lower at these points.

Sunspots, increasing or decreasing in number an average of 11 years following. Since the temperature reflected from the Sun decreases with the increase in sunspots, it is assumed that the periods when more spots are experienced can also affect the Earth.
