<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 4053417, member: 99554&quot;]A huge American telescope at the top of a volcanic island in the Pacific has photographed the Sun with unprecedented resolution, making it possible to see plasma bubbles the size of France. These images have the highest resolution ever obtained, said Thomas Rimmele, director of the $ 344 million telescope, from Boulder, where the National Solar Observatory, a US public institution, is based. On the images and videos published on Wednesday, we see bubbles grow and rise to the surface before changing color.</p><p><img src="https://m1.quebecormedia.com/emp/emp/e0cb2420-43c1-11ea-889e-3d3dab8390e1_ORIGINAL.jpg?impolicy=crop-resize&amp;x=0&amp;y=0&amp;w=1200&amp;h=800&amp;width=1%C2%A0200x" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>These are plasma bubbles that are heating and cooling. Each cell in the image is about the size of France. The largest published plan represents a part of the Sun of 5000 miles by 5000 miles.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://m1.quebecormedia.com/emp/emp/5d070070-43ab-11ea-889e-3d3dab8390e1_ORIGINAL.jpg?impolicy=crop-resize&amp;x=0&amp;y=0&amp;w=1200&amp;h=1200&amp;width=1%C2%A0200x" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>After nine years of construction, the telescope was turned on last December 10th. The telescope is launched at an exciting time for astronomers: the Sun is about to enter a new 11-year cycle and is starting to produce new sunspots.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please watch this incredible video :</p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]znBesUwVOok[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>Now to celebrate our own star the Sun, please post your coins featuring <b>Sol</b>, the personification and god of the Sun.
