The Inouye telescope shows amazing new photos of the Sun never seen before
The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope of the National Science Foundation (NSF) has published eight new photographs of our star, anticipating the incredible and wonderful work being done at the most powerful solar telescope on earth.
Thanks to the Visible-Broadband Imager (VBI), one of the telescope's first-generation instruments, a series of sunspots and 'quiet' regions of the sun have been captured in unprecedented detail.
This new, state-of-the-art instrument available to researchers enables them to obtain invaluable data on the magnetic fields at work on the Sun's surface and also on the origin of solar storms.

Image title: Solar Granules, Intergranular Lanes, and Magnetic Elements of the Quiet Sun PID: PID_1_49. In this image, the fine structure of the quiet Sun is observed on its surface or photosphere. The bright structures within the plasma granules are the signatures of the magnetic field.

Image title: Sunspot Umbral Dots and Penumbral Filaments in Detail PID: PID_1_27. This image reveals the subtle structures of a sunspot in the photosphere. The dark central region is the centre of a sunspot where the magnetic field is strongest. The elongated structures surrounding the umbra are visible as bright filaments known as penumbral filaments.

Image title: The Fibrillar Nature of the Solar Atmosphere PID: PID_1_123. In this picture, the fibre structure of the solar atmosphere is revealed. Indeed, one can see thin dark threads of plasma (fibrils) emanating from the underlying magnetic network. The contours always show the action of magnetic fields.

Picture title: A Light Bridge Captured in a Sunspot PID: PID_1_50. In this wonderful picture a light bridge is shown crossing the umbra of a sunspot from one end of the penumbra to the other. It is not known exactly how deep these structures are formed. This photo shows us an example of a light bridge in remarkable detail.

Image Title: Umbral Fragments Suggest the 'End Phase' of a Sunspot PID: PID_1_22. Although this image shows the presence of umbral fragments, it is extraordinarily rare to capture the formation or decay process of a sunspot. What we are really seeing is the "final phase" of a sunspot.

Image Title: Properties of Convection Cells and Light Bridge Seen Around a Sunspot PID: PID_1_29. A detailed example of a light bridge crossing the umbra of a sunspot. This is a complex structure that takes on different shapes and phases and is believed to be the signature of the beginning of a sunspot's decay.

The four main consumer rights are: the right to product safety, to full information, to a free choice and to be heard. Often, however, especially in online transactions, not everything is as clear as it should be, and one often runs the risk of running into scams.
Suspicious e-mails, random links, false information, fake websites: these and many other things undermine our computer security, as do outdated passwords and careless consumers. The phenomenon of online scams is much more widespread than people think, with hundreds of thousands of victims worldwide every year.
However, there are some very simple guidelines to help you defend yourself. Nothing complicated, just a few behaviours to follow if you want to surf more safely. Here are some tips on how to arm yourself against online scams.

The Neolithic site of Stonehenge, is located a few miles from Salisbury, England. Formed of huge stones, it is believed to have been an astronomical observatory in ancient times, with special significance at the solstice and equinox.
Specifically, these are huge megaliths positioned in a circular shape, topped by equally huge connecting lintels. The current position of the stones is the result of massive restoration that took place in the early part of the 20th century.
To this day, historians and scientists remain debated about its real significance. Included in UNESCO protected sites, today it is a popular tourist destination. The myths behind this place, even in 2023, are wasted.
