The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, a new instrument based on Earth, has delivered its first images. These snapshots, capturing an area of the burbling solar atmosphere, are giving the world an idea of just how powerful this telescope truly is. They showcase an area over 51,000 miles across at a resolution of 11 miles per pixel — a region about as wide as nine Russias lined up side by side.
