What Are Solar Telescopes?

The corona is a thin, faint outer atmosphere around the sun. Its structure is complex. It can only be appreciated during the short period of total solar eclipse, because the light of the sky is always scattered or diffused into the telescope from all sides. . In 1930, the first coronagraph developed by French astronomer Leo was born. This instrument can effectively block the sun, and the scattered light is very small. Therefore, it can successfully take a corona picture on any day when the sun is shining. Since then, activities of the World Observation Corona have gradually emerged.

Dunn Solar Telescope (calibre 1.63 m, 1969) Dutch Open Telescope (45 cm diameter, 1997) Teide Observatory Including the 70-cm vacuum tower telescope (1989) and the 1.5-meter GREGOR solar telescope, the webcam was nearing completion in 2007. Advanced technology solar telescope, planned 4 meters telescope.
