磁场控制着变化无常的太阳。了解太阳变化及其对地球的直接影响的关键在于了解这些磁场的各个方面。先进技术太阳望远镜 (ATST) 专为磁遥感而设计。其收集面积、空间分辨率、散射光、偏振特性和波长性能都确保 ATST 能够观测太阳大气中从光球层到日冕的所有高度的磁场。经过几年的设计努力，ATST 已获得美国国家科学基金会批准开始建设，成本上限约为 2.98 亿美元。主要望远镜部件的工作包将在未来几个月内发布招标。建筑许可证申请已提交（© 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA，魏因海姆）
Magnetic fields control the inconstant Sun. The key to understanding solar variability and its direct impact on the Earth rests with understanding all aspects of these magnetic fields. The Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) has been design specifically for magnetic remote sensing. Its collecting area, spatial resolution, scattered light, polarization properties, and wavelength performance all insure ATST will be able to observe magnetic fields at all heights in the solar atmosphere from photosphere to corona. After several years of design efforts, ATST has been approved by the U.S. National Science Foundation to begin construction with a not to exceed cost cap of approximately $298M. Work packages for major telescope components will be released for bid over the next several months. An application for a building permit has been submitted (© 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
