Those who love to watch
the sun, usually pay attention mainly to large outburst and tarnish on it. But
on our star and events are smaller, so-called nanovspyshki. To observe these
events in the coming days, in early November, will start a new NASA space telescope
named FOXSI (Focusing Optics X-ray Solar Imager).
The telescope will be
located in the meteorological rocket, and his journey takes about 6 minutes,
during which he will have to see nanovspyshki as possible.
Know-how will be the
new tool FOXSI cobalt / nickel mirror iridium coating that allows collecting
X-rays - which are easy to pass through the lens of conventional telescopes,
little focus - and send them to the detector. Such optics allows you to see
even such weak and dull events like solar nanovspyshki.
Nanovspyshek study
should help scientists understand how the image of a large solar flare, and to
answer the question of how much heat the sun sends its atmosphere that it is
1,000 times hotter than the surface of our star.
