Sunrise-III observatory reveals intricate solar magnetic structures

Original: Stratospheric observatory Sunrise-III reveals intricate solar magnetic structures

The stratospheric observatory Sunrise-III, which flew above much of Earth's atmosphere on a balloon, has returned detailed images of the Sun's magnetic fields, revealing fine, intricate structures on the solar surface. Researchers from the international collaboration, including teams in Germany and Japan, report the highest-resolution views yet of magnetic features driving solar activity. The findings could improve understanding of solar flares and space weather that affect Earth.

Why now: New high-resolution observations of the Sun's magnetic fields have just been published by the Sunrise-III team.
