In the highest-resolution images of the Sun ever captured, Inouye has exposed a hidden landscape of eddying whirlpools swirling around the Sun's magnetic boundaries.
Seeing how truly omnipresent they are across the magnetic surface was something we really didn't expect at all."
In April 2025, the telescope was deployed to stare at a magnetically active region not far from a sunspot to capture a timelapse of the solar plasma in roiling action.
This painstaking work does indeed show that the constantly evolving curlicues in the solar plasma are KHI – but it also goes a step further.
So discovering that these strict requirements are satisfied practically everywhere at the boundaries of magnetic elements is simply astonishing."
