A new telescope has captured some of the most detailed, close-up images of the sun ever taken, the National Science Foundation announced Wednesday.

One of the images shows a pattern of turbulent"boiling" plasma that covers the entire sun. The cell-like structures – each about the size of Texas – are the signature of violent motions that transport heat from the inside of the sun to its surface.

France Córdova, the director of the NSF, said that "since NSF began work on this ground-based telescope, we have eagerly awaited the first images. The National Science Foundation said that activity on the sun, known as space weather, can affect systems on Earth. Magnetic eruptions on the sun can impact air travel, disrupt satellite communications and bring down power grids, causing long-lasting blackouts and disabling technologies such as GPS.
