Scientists have captured images of the sun’s surface in the finest detail yet, revealing a strange and dynamic facade. Researchers were able to peek at the sun's scorching surface with the help of the National Science Foundation’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, located on the island of Maui in Hawaii.

Here’s a series of videos I captured using my solar telescope- showing how chaotic the solar chromosphere is. Keep in mind the smallest details you see are still thousands of miles wide.

Despite fighting malfunctioning equipment, I captured one of my most surreal videos ever. That’s the moon crossing in front of the sun. You can see mountains on the lunar limb as it transits the chromosphere. Captured using a specially modified telescope from Utah in 2023.

General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: The strikes that Iran has taken on shipping up north, in the vicinity of Kuwait, have been, I believe, from surface-to-surface missiles up there. We've not seen any USV activity out of Iran that we've seen in the Gulf at this point.
