Abstract

Newly released images of small‐scale solar structures indicate that the Sun is much more turbulent that previously known. The images, produced by the satellite Hinode (formerly known as Solar‐B), were released by NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) on 21 March.Many of the recently released images focused on a large sunspot identified by scientists in December 2006. The sunspot, which was anomalous because it occurred in the declining phase of the 11‐year sunspot cycle, ejected a flare of white light and protons.
