New Sun Images At 8K Resolution Show Astounding, Never-Before-Seen DetailsTwo images of the same sunspot, a dark region of the sound surronded by an orange hal if filaments pointing inward. Left: Extract from a single image of the Sun, taken with the Vacuum Tower Telescope on Tenerife. Right: High-resolution image restored from 100 individual exposures captured by the new advanced camera system. The details are much sharper.

ALMA Radio Telescope Delivers Its Highest Resolution Image Yet Submillimeter-wave emission from the stellar surface is shown in orange, and hydrogen cyanide maser emissions at 891 GHz are shown in blue. The observations show that a ring-like gas structure surrounds the star and that gas from the star is escaping to the surrounding space.
