ShareNEW YORK (AP) — Scientists have captured images of the sun’s surface in the finest detail yet, revealing a strange and dynamic facade. What’s more, they saw strange feathery patterns rippling across the surface. This has been glimpsed on Earth and other planets like Jupiter and Saturn, but “it has not been observed ever at that level on the solar surface,” according to study co-author Friedrich Wöger with the National Solar Observatory.
