2020 February 3 Solar Granules at Record High Resolution Image Credit: NSO, NSF, AURA, Inouye Solar Telescope Explanation: Why does the Sun’s surface keep changing? The help find out, the US National Science Foundation (NSF) has built the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope in Hawaii, USA. The Inouye telescope has a larger mirror that enables the capturing of images of higher resolution, at a faster rate, and in more colors than ever before.
