Miracle! Telescope captures FIRST-EVER special image of mysterious Sun part

[ad_1] The difficulty of capturing the Sun's lower atmosphere, the chromosphere, is massive. However, it has now been done by the world’s largest solar telescope. Have a look here. We have seen several images and short clips shared by NASA revealing great details of the Sun. But this time, the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) in Hawai'i has captured the first-ever detailed image of the sun's chromosphere, which is a layer of the Sun's atmosphere just above its surface. The image taken by the telescope on June 3, 2022, shows a region 82,500 kilometres across at a resolution of 18 km.What is chromosphere? Similar to the outermost region of the sun's atmosphere named corona, the chromosphere is generally clouded by the s...
