This is the Sun as seen in groundbreaking new images — and they're unlike anything you've ever laid eyes on. As detailed in a new study published in the journal Nature Astronomy, scientists have leveraged new coronal adaptive optics tech to bypass the blurriness caused by the turbulence of the Earth's atmosphere, a time-old obstacle that's frustrated astronomers attempts to see features smaller than 620 miles. The result is some of the clearest images to date of the fine structures that […]
