| The THEMIS solar telescope ("Télescope Héliographique pour l’Étude du Magnétisme et des Instabilités Solaires") of [[https://www.insu.cnrs.fr/en|CNRS-INSU]] is a 1-meter-class optical solar telescope, primarily dedicated to studying solar magnetism and the dynamical processes within the Sun’s atmosphere (such as sunspots and solar flares). THEMIS can also perform observation of near-Sun objects such as Mercury and comets. | The "Télescope Héliographique pour l’Étude du Magnétisme et des Instabilités Solaires" (THEMIS) of [[https://www.insu.cnrs.fr/en|CNRS-INSU]] is a 1-meter-class optical solar telescope, primarily dedicated to studying solar magnetism and the dynamical processes within the Sun’s atmosphere (such as sunspots and solar flares).

| <columns 40% l > | A view of the THEMIS telescope in its resting safe position seen through the oculus of the dome. The THEMIS dome was designed not only to protect the telescope from inclement weather, but also to avoid direct sunlight heating the floor around the telescope mount. Such heat induces turbulence that can significantly impact the quality of the observations. In order for THEMIS to observe, the oculus has precisely the size of the telescope aperture. While observing the only sunlight that gets in the dome goes in the telescope. Both the telescope and the oculus must then move smoothly and synchronously when tracking the Sun during its diurnal motion. |

| Observation of the main sunspot of the active region NOAA 13959 on January 15th 2025. This white light broad band image in the red continuum highlights the two "light bridges" of the sunspot. Light-bridges are lanes of bright material that divide the sunspot umbra. The image is the results from 100 acquired snapshots processed with a Knox Thompson image reconstruction method. | |
