Photography of the Golden Ring Solar Eclipse Succeeded
The “X-Ray Telescope” (XRT) , which was installed on the Solar Physics Satellite “HINODE”, succeeded in photographing the golden ring solar eclipse.
The XRT was jointly developed between Meisei Electric and American Smithonian Astronomical Observatory and was taken up for the observation of “Solar Flare” among the public widely in May of last year.
Meisei Electric’s observation instruments are playing important roles for lots of satellites deployed in the Space.
