It appears that now we have more REAL details about the sun,specially about convection cells.And this is VISIBLE LIGHT.Look:

Since the scale is 10000 km,could be possible to have for example a 2k,4k or even bigger texture.In "The Portrait of the Sun",by rhtovald,which level this corresponds?

I didn't have the time to look into it today, but it would be interesting to see how far the JAXA craft is offset from SOHO. We could get 3d shots and higher accuracy path predictions of CMEs off the sun... cool.

The Sun portrait is the next Update project for me. After Ran, that is. In a few months...
