Figure 9-7 RIVUXG Supergranules and Large-Scale Convection Supergranules display relatively little contrast between their center and edges, so they are hard to observe in ordinary images. But they can be seen in a false-color Doppler image like this one. Light from gas that is approaching us (that is, rising) is shifted toward shorter wavelengths, while light from receding gas (that is, descending) is shifted toward longer wavelengths (see Section 2-5).
