• The First Solar Telescope
• A solar telescope is an instrument designed to
  view the Sun using its infrared heat-sensing
  components. Solar telescopes generally detect
  visible light with infrared wavelengths, or not
  very near at all, the ultraviolet spectrum. The
  name "solar" comes from the Greek word for "that
  which heats" (sun). Many people confuse a
  solar-powered telescope with a "solar greenhouse"
  because the instruments both use light energy
  from the Sun to produce information about the
  planet. Do you want to learn more? Visit SOLAR

• Invented in the late 1800's by German Astronomer
  Seemann, a solar telescope was the first
  instrument ever developed to be used in the
  search for celestial bodies. Although the
  instrument worked, it was never able to detect
  all the stars in the sky. It was only efficient
  to scan through a small part of the sky. The
  modern day scientific instruments we use today
  have evolved greatly since that time. There are
  many new technological developments in the field
  of astronomy that have resulted in better
  efficiency, higher resolution, and greater
  capabilities in viewing solar systems and other
  terrestrial objects. You can learn more at

• One early solar telescope was invented by a
  French sailor and cartographer, Maupass, who were
  researching the islands of Hawaii in 1847.
  According to legend, he made the discovery when
  he sailed into the "heavens," and found that the
  reflected images of the Sun appeared identical to
  a map he had just drawn of the Hawaiian Islands.
  He claimed that he put together a crude design
  for a solar-powered instrument and showed it to
  an influential Swedish doctor. The doctor
  supposedly told Maupass that he (the doctor)
  could prove that the Sun truly existed by
  detecting its gravitational pulls on the Earth,
  and thus obtained a patent on the device in 1850.
  Some sources say the doctor actually created the
  first solar-powered telescope. No matter what the
  story is, the Solar Telescope Society is on
  record as being the organization that first used
  a pellet-type reflector as part of a research
  program on telescopes. You may find more details
