In quest of higher angular resolution and broader spectral coverage, solar physics was the first astronomical discipline to obtain observations from rockets, and later from satellites. Solar physicists have also been pioneers in the application of new imaging technologies. For example, the first high resolution astronomical x-ray images obtained with grazing incidence optics were of the sun; more recently, the first high resolution astronomical soft x-ray /EUV images obtained with normal incidence multilayer x-ray imaging techniques have also been of the sun.
