solar telescopes
Solar telescopes are specialized instruments designed to observe the Sun. Unlike regular telescopes, they use specific filters to block out most sunlight, allowing scientists to study solar features such as sunspots, solar flares, and prominences. These telescopes help researchers understand solar activity and its effects on space weather.
Many solar telescopes are equipped with advanced technology, including spectrometers and cameras, to capture detailed images and data. Some notable solar observatories include the Solar Dynamics Observatory and the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope. These facilities contribute significantly to our knowledge of the Sun and its influence on the solar system.
