To understand the “space weather” created by the sun, it is important to study the sun’s magnetism.
Europe’s largest solar telescope, Greg R. R., has led scientists to travel 50 km to the sun. Lets determine the fineness, which is a small fraction of the solar diameter of 1.4 million km.
Now, the telescope has released images of unprecedented proximity to the sun – and that’s a bit scary. Operated by a German scientist at the Tide Observatory in Spain, the telescope has obtained new high-resolution images of the sun’s intricate composition – best captured by a European telescope.
Dr. Luc Lucia Klint, who led the project and said German Solar Telescopes at Tenerife, “This was an interesting and extremely challenging project. We completely redesigned the icons, mechanics and electronics to achieve the best image quality in just one year. The project team achieved a major technical breakthrough during the lockdown in March this year when they were stuck in the observatory and set up an optical laboratory from the ground up. Unfortunately, blizzards prevented solar observations. When Spain reopened in July, the team immediately took off and obtained the highest resolution images of the sun taken by a European telescope. “
Professor at the University of Albert-Ludwig in Freiburg and Director of the Leibniz Institute of Solar Physics (KIS). Dr. Svetlana Bardugina said: “The project was rather risky because such a telescope upgrade usually takes years, but great teamwork and careful planning have led to this success. We now have a powerful tool for solving puzzles on the sun. ”
The GREGOR Telescope was inaugurated in 2012. In 2018, scientists launched a complete upgrade, including optics, configuration, instrumentation, mechanical upgrades for vibration reduction, updated control systems, building augmentation, and convenient management and policies. The telescope’s new optics will allow scientists to study magnetic fields, convection, instability, solar explosions and sunspots in detail.
