An image of a sunspot captured by NSF’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope clearly shows the potential of the telescope and its set of state-of-the-art instruments to revolutionize solar astronomy.
NSF’s 4-m Inouye Solar Telescope, the largest optical solar telescope in the world, is located on the island of Maui in Hawai’i.
The telescope delivers spatial resolution and sensitivity that enable astronomers to unravel many of the mysteries that the Sun presents, including the origin of solar magnetism, the mechanisms of coronal heating and drivers of the solar wind, flares and coronal mass ejections.
