A detailed telescope photo of sun’s surface has been revealed people call it chikki:
National Science Foundation released never seen before images of the Sun’s turbulent surface. The Daniel K Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) on the summit of Haleakala, Maui in Hawaii, released the pictures that show details as small as 30 km across the sun, reported the BBC.
This is notable when set against the scale of our star, which has a diameter of about 1.4 million km and is 149 million km from Earth. The cell-like structures are approximately the size of the US state of Texas. They are convicting masses of hot, excited gas, or plasma.
The NSF’s Inouye Solar Telescope provides unprecedented close-ups of the sun’s surface, but ultimately it will measure the sun’s corona – no total solar eclipse required.

The bright centers are where this solar material is rising; the surrounding dark lanes are the place where plasma is cooling and sinking.
As soon as the highest resolution image of the sun’s surface was released, the internet had many reactions to it that will keep you laughing:
I’m not trying to compete with the sexiness of the suns surface, but how many likes can the surface of my garlic bread get? https://t.co/hhgxToFzCC pic.twitter.com/HqE1beMjyo

OK, maybe you can mess with Texas, but definitely don’t mess with the Sun: https://t.co/PLQOOvEjcf pic.twitter.com/zpnVBL8Htx
