© NASA/SDO/Uritsky, et al Scientists used image processing on high-resolution images of the Sun to reveal distinct “plumelets” within structures on the Sun called solar plumes. The full-disk Sun and the left side of the inset image were captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory in a wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light and processed to reduce noise. The right side of the inset has been further processed to enhance small features in the images, revealing the edges of the plumelets in clear detail. These plumelets could help scientists understand how and why disturbances in the solar wind form.Scientists have combined NASA data and cutting-edge image processing to gain new insight into the solar structures that create the Sun s flow of high-speed solar wind, detailed in new research published today in
