“ With the unprecedented resolution of BBSO ’s NST , many antecedently nameless small - ordered series sunspot features can now be perceive , ” order Cao . In the image above , for example , researcher are specially concerned in the interface that connectsthe sunspot ’s dark core ( the umbra ) and the bright , petal - alike tendrils of free energy that surround it ( the penumbra ) .
