HINODE
This exciting new spacecraft is named for the word "Sunrise" in Japanese. Launched last fall, Hinode has indeed shined upon us, bringing us
a wealth of new information about the Sun's magnetic structure and the flares
and eruptions that result. Built by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration
Agency (JAXA) in cooperation with the US and UK, the new data is generating
interest all around the world.

Cooking With the Sun
There are many ways to use solar power, on Earth and in space.
Most of the participating IHY spacecraft have solar panels to supply energy
for multi-year missions. Some missions are even planning to use
Solar Sails as a
source of propulsion. You can even make a solar pizza.
