Music, Nelson: We have just 2 and a half minutes.
None of the instruments can crash.
The computer cannot crash. Until you see those first images, showing up on
the computer screen, that's a tense feeling.

Nat: We go to Indonesia, we set up the experiment, and
we are going to observe very close to the solar surface
and how the physical conditions of the corona are.
Nelson: What we are trying to learn from this experiment is how capable the polarization camera is.
Nat: People used to have a filter wheel and a polarizer wheel.
So, now the polarization camera
automatically gives you all the polarization values.
We have cut down the length of time required by 50%.
Nelson: The images taken through those 4 color filters
would allow us to measure the temperature and also the windspeed.
Nat: You know, you wait for months and years before
you can see this. This is an outstanding opportunity
to see the beauty in nature.
