Advanced technologies now available at the National Science Foundation's Dunn Solar Telescope at Sunspot, NM, are revealing striking details on the surface of the Sun. This sunspot image, spanning an area more than three times wider than Earth, was made possible by a new high-resolution CCD camera working in conjunction with the Dunn telescope's recently completed adaptive optics image-correction system.
