Definition
An optical instrument designed to safely observe and study the sun's surface, atmosphere, and phenomena by filtering or projecting sunlight.
Etymology
From Greek 'helios' (sun) and 'skopein' (to look or examine), literally 'sun-viewer,' a tool for astronomical observation.
Kelly Says
Galileo used an early helioscope to observe sunspots and prove the Sun rotates—something the Church found dangerously heretical because it contradicted their perfect-sphere model of the Sun!
