Telescopio Inouye captura vórtices Kelvin-Helmholtz en el Sol

El telescopio solar Daniel K. Inouye, operado por NASA, capturó vórtices de inestabilidad Kelvin-Helmholtz en la superficie del Sol, ofreciendo una nueva comprensión de la actividad magnética que impulsa las erupciones solares y las eyecciones de masa coronal.

Informes anteriores habían destacado la resolución sin precedentes del telescopio al observar la capa exterior del Sol, revelando remolinos magnéticos a pequeña escala y confirmando que estos vórtices son frecuentes en los límites magnéticos. Las observaciones, realizadas desde Maui, Hawai, se describen como las imágenes más detalladas de la fotosfera solar hasta la fecha.
