The U.S. National Science Foundation Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, the world’s most powerful solar telescope, operated by the NSF National Solar Observatory (NSO) near the summit of Maui’s Haleakalā, recently reached a major milestone as one of its groundbreaking instruments, the Visible Tunable Filter (VTF) achieved first light. The VTF is the world’s largest imaging spectro-polarimeter - a highly sophisticated instrument designed and built by a team at the Institut für Sonnenphysik (KIS) in Freiburg, Germany. It is the fifth and final first-generation instrument to be integrated, emerging as a crucial one among the Inouye’s instrument suite.

Description: Just down from Haleakal?'s 10,023' summit is a batch of telescopes. Among them is the impressive Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope. Completed in 2017, the telescope sits above about 1/3 of the Earth's atmosphere, giving it a great view of the sun's surface.

We have some incredibly powerful telescopes that have given us spectacular views of the cosmos and allowed us to look back to the early days of the universe. These observatories, such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), are amazing feats of engineering that have required billions of dollars and decades of work. But what...
