A solar telescope is a specialized instrument designed to observe the Sun. Unlike regular telescopes, which can be harmful to the eyes when pointed at the Sun, solar telescopes use specific filters to safely view solar phenomena. They allow astronomers to study features like sunspots, solar flares, and prominences, providing valuable insights into solar activity and its effects on the solar system. These telescopes often employ advanced technologies, such as H-alpha filters, to isolate specific wavelengths of light emitted by the Sun. This enables detailed observations of the Sun's atmosphere, known as the corona, and helps scientists understand solar dynamics and their impact on Earth, including space weather events.
