透過捕捉太陽日冕磁場的首批詳細圖譜，科學家現在能夠觀測到太陽風暴與閃焰發源的外層大氣。
Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) in Maui, Hawaii, has reached a new milestone in solar physics.
過去，繪圖僅限於太陽表面，但這台全球最強大的太陽望遠鏡改變了這一點。
By capturing the first detailed maps of the Sun’s coronal magnetic field, scientists can now observe the outer atmosphere where solar storms and flares originate.
該望遠鏡利用稱為日冕儀技術的先進方法創造出人工日蝕，能偵測到比太陽盤面微弱十億倍的磁訊號。
Previously, mapping was limited to the Sun's surface, but the world’s most powerful solar telescope has changed this.
透過分析塞曼效應下的光譜線分裂，研究人員能以極高精度測量磁場強度。
Using an advanced technique called coronagraphy to create an artificial eclipse, the telescope detects magnetic signals a billion times fainter than the solar disk.
正如我們監測地球天氣一樣，繪製這些無形的太陽力量，能幫助我們保護關鍵基礎設施，包括衛星、電網與GPS系統，免受潛在的技術干擾。
These findings are vital for space weather prediction.
憑藉其4公尺口徑與高解析度成像，DKIST正為驅動我們太陽系的複雜且強大的力量投射出新的光芒。
Just as we monitor Earth’s weather, mapping these invisible solar forces helps us protect critical infrastructure, including satellites, power grids, and GPS systems, from potential technological disruptions.
