Exploring the Sun, we did it!

Nearly 100 solar flare activities have been observed, the fine structure of the sun's Hα spectrum line has been obtained in orbit for the first time, and China's new satellite technology has been further tested... On August 30, the National Space Administration officially released a series of new achievements made by China's first solar exploration scientific and technological experimental satellite "Xihe" in Beijing.

"Xihe" is my country's first dedicated "photographer" of the sun. After early on-orbit testing and debugging, it has successfully achieved the world's first space solar Hα band spectral scanning imaging, and the world's first on-orbit acquisition of the fine structure of the solar Hα spectrum, SiⅠ spectrum and FeⅠ spectrum. What is "Hα band"? How to break the sentence "space solar Hα band spectral scanning imaging"? Let's take a look at it.
