This image shows the Sun’s surface captured in extreme detail by the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, revealing a pattern called granulation. Each cell is a region of hot plasma rising and cooling as it sinks at darker edges. These structures are about the size of countries, showing how energy moves outward from the Sun’s interior. Such observations help scientists understand solar activity, magnetic fields, and space weather that can affect Earth’s technology and satellites.
