Explanation: How smooth is the Sun? The new Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope, deployed in
the Canary Islands only last year, allows imaging of objects less than 100-km across on the
Sun's surface. When pointed toward the Sun's edge, surface objects now begin to block each
other, indicating true three-dimensional information. Close inspection of the image reveals
