- The National Science Foundation's Inouye Solar Telescope captured an image of a sunspot in incredible detail.
- The sunspot, which is roughly in the shape of a heart, is one of the first images captured by the newly-minted telescope.
- The entire Earth could fit inside the borders of the sunspot.
The Sun is something that a lot of us take for granted. It's just always there, chilling out in the sky, and providing the energy we need to survive. Over the years we've come up with more advanced ways of studying our nearest star, and we've learned a lot about its behavior and cycles as a result.
Now, the newly-minted powerful Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, operated by the US National Science Foundation, has captured the most stunning image of a sunspot that we earthlings have ever seen. Oh, and the sunspot looks vaguely like a heart, which is a shame because Valentine's Day is still a few months away.
