(Reuters) - Images from a powerful new telescope installed on top of a volcano in Hawaii show the surface of the sun in the closest detail yet, revealing features as small as 30km (18 miles) across.
They were captured by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, which sits at around 10,000 feet (3000 metres) above sea level near the summit of Haleakala volcano in Maui, Hawaii.
The telescope, which features the world's largest solar 4-meter (13 feet) mirror, could enable a greater understanding of the Sun and its impact on our planet, according to the National Solar Observatory, a public research institute headquartered in Boulder, Colorado.
A pattern of turbulent, "boiling" gas is shown covering the sun, which is come 93 million miles from Earth.
