Hinode's High-resolution view of solar granulation

Visualizations by Tom Bridgman Released on March 22, 2007

This zoom-in from a full view of the Hinode Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) (the same as in animation 3411) shows details of solar granulation and how rapidly it changes.

Another view of the granulation where significant change is visible over the four hours of the data collection.
