Here are some great shots from our #GREGORSolarTelescope observation campaign in July. Peering into the #photosphere and #chromosphere, we caught several emerging active regions – and a #flare! This will help us study the plasma dynamics in active regions and how energy builds up to create a flare.
Emerging active region as seen by GREGOR. It's a black and white image of an area filled mostly with granulation pattern, a convection-cell structure looking simular to a very unorderly honeycomb pattern. Near center, that structure is broken up and one area appears especially dark compared to the surroundings.
