A team led by scientists from the Solar National Observatory of the National Corporation of the American Sciences took the most accurate picture of the surface of the sun, and the results were documented in a study of the “Astrofezical Journal” patrol.
In the picture, the “solar grains” appear clearly, and to understand why you did not take this strange shape, boil some water. After a period of boiling, you find that the water fluctuates, and this happens because the lower parts of the water heat up, ascend the top, and the cold parts above cool down and go down, and so on in continuous movement.
The sun does the same thing, as plasma moves between the outer layers of the sun in a continuous movement, and so on in a permanent movement, and these granules are the result of that movement.
Magnetic curtains
But what is new in this case is the monitoring of scientists, for the first time ever, with high accuracy, high -narrow, bright and dark lines, on the sun’s light cover, which provides an unprecedented vision of how to form the magnetic fields of sunscreen dynamics on small ranges up to 20 km.
Using the Daniel K. Observatory. Enawi Al Shamsi of the National Science Corporation, the team noticed these bright and dark lines rippled across the walls of solar grains, in a way that resembles a wind -like movement by wind.
These results unveil a new layer of complexity in the magnetic structure of the sun, and these lines arise from thin magnetic sheets present in the solar plasma.
The brightness of light changes (becomes light or dark) when it passes through magnetic curtains according to the intensity of the magnetic field, so if the field is weak, it is dark, and if it is strong, it shows a higher brightness.
The most accurate solar observatory
Daniel K. Enoy, the largest solar observatory on the ground, is located at the Hilakala Observatory on the island of Maoi, in Hawaii, at an altitude of about 3080 meters, and its main mirror diameter is 4.24 meters, and its early scientific stages began on February 23, 2022, after the construction was officially completed.
The observatory allows to see accurate details on the surface of the sun of about 20-50 km, using the optical adaptation technique to correct the atmosphere effect.
A advanced imaging system consists of 3 simultaneous cameras that takes hundreds of pictures in seconds with different wavelengths, allowing three -dimensional views of the sun’s structures.
The “adjustable wavelength filter” is also used, which is a delicate device that has been developed in Germany, which is the heart of the optical system of the observatory, as it helps scientists measure the properties of solar plasma with great accuracy.
