APOD 1.4

This is a picture of the sun with a sunspot included. Boiling granules that look like kernels of corn across the top. It was taken in 2002, using the Swedish solar telescope on the Canary Island of La Palma. The image was made using adaptive optics, digital image stacking, and more that counters the blurring effect of earth's atmosphere.
