The Swedish 1 metre Solar Telescope, on La Palma in the Canary Islands, uses a mirror in the path of the sunlight that minutely changes shape a thousand times per second to counter the effects of atmospheric turbulence. It can see details on the surface of the Sun as small as 70 km across (43 miles).
