These incredible videos and photos were taken using the NSF Inouye Solar Telescope in Hawaii, the world's most powerful solar telescope. Combined with cutting–edge simulations, researchers say their new observations reveal something that has never been seen before. 'By pairing a massive four–meter mirror with state–of–the–art optics and instruments, the NSF Inouye Solar Telescope delivers the resolving power needed to reveal these ultrafine details for the first time.' Scientists combined observations from the Inouye telescope with the results of highly specialised computer simulations. In both the telescope images and the simulations, scientists found dozens of KHI vortices on the edges of magnetically unstable areas with strikingly similar characteristics.
