The Daniel Inouye telescope allows you to see not only granules in the Sun's photosphere, but also formations known as photospheric striations (can be translated as "photospheric grooves"). These are white thin stripes on the granules. They are magnetic in nature and are only 20 kilometers wide.

I’ve read that these granules are on average about the size of Texas.
