Solar Fest from the House of the Sun! ☀️ Thanks to everyone who joined us, @HaleakalaNPS and @UHIfA for a fun-filled weekend of solar science, art, solar telescope viewing, and more at the summit! See you again next year 🔭
The Haleakalā Solar Festival is back this Friday! ☀️ Join the NSO, @HaleakalaNPS, and friends for a weekend of solar viewing, sun art, solar talks, and learn how the @NSF Inouye Solar Telescope is unlocking the Sunʻs secrets from the summit of Haleakalā! nps.gov/planyourvisit/…
Let's zoom in🔍These @NSF #InouyeSolarTelescope images reveal fine structures of a sunspot—bright umbral dots in the dark central umbra and penumbral filaments surrounding it. These details help scientists study sunspot magnetic dynamics at a level made possible by the Inouye!
