The Inouye Solar Telescope has captured the smallest coronal loops ever imaged during a solar flare, providing unprecedented detail that could enhance understanding of the sun's magnetic structure. This observation represents the highest-resolution Hα data of a solar flare to date. The telescope also recorded the first-ever X-class solar flare, marking a milestone for the world's largest solar telescope. Separately, NASA released the clearest and sharpest images of the sun ever taken, including a striking photo from the Solar Orbiter that shows Mercury against the backdrop of a large solar prominence, offering a unique perspective on scale.
