Please access to JAXA Web site and see photos showing images of an annular solar eclipse observed by the Solar Physics Satellite “HINODE” and the Quasi-Zenith Satellite-1 “MICHIBIKI” from the Space on the 21st May, 2012 respectively.
The photo of the “HINODE” captured a scene of the partial solar eclipse showing the blackened Moon passing through in the back of brilliant solar corona with X-rays. Also, the monitor camera on the “MICHIBIKI” captured the area above Japan shadowed and blackened by the Moon.
Meisei Electric were honored to develop the X-ray telescope on the “HINODE” and the monitor camera on the “MICHIBIKI”
