Advanced Technology Solar Telescope

The Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST), also known as the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, is a highly specialized observatory designed to study the Sun in incredible detail. Located in Hawaii, it uses powerful optics and advanced technology to observe solar phenomena such as sunspots, solar flares, and magnetic fields. Its large mirror and sophisticated instruments help scientists understand the Sun’s behavior, which influences space weather and how it affects Earth. By providing clearer, more detailed images of the Sun’s surface, the ATST helps improve our knowledge of solar activity and its impact on our planet.
