The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), in which ESO is a partner, has captured images of the bubbling surface of the star R Doradus — the first time this motion is imaged in detail in a star other than the Sun. This video summarises the discovery.

As we approach solar maximum, the Sun is reaching new levels of activity for Solar Cycle 25. The Sunspot number has consistently exceeded predictions of the cycle with 2024 especially being way above what was predicted. That means we have been consistently seeing large numbers of active regions across the disk throughout the entire year. While this doesnt always mean large flares all the time, we have had periods (such as early May) where the Sun has produced some major flares. The last few months of 2024 are shaping up to continue this trend and we hope to continue to capture exciting solar data with XRT.
Hinode is a Japanese mission developed and launched by ISAS/JAXA, with NAOJ as domestic partner and NASA and STFC (UK) as international partners. It is operated by these agencies in co-operation with ESA and the NSC (Norway). The XRT instrument team is comprised of SAO, NASA, JAXA, and NAOJ.
