Xihe (Chinese H-Alpha Solar Explorer) breaks ground with new data has carried out spectral scanning and imaging of the sun's H-Alpha waveband and has recorded the dynamics of the solar activities in the star's photosphere and chromosphere. It could image almost 100 solar burst activities. The spacecraft has also obtained spectral lines of the sun's H-Alpha waveband, neutral silicon atoms and neutral iron atoms. These accomplishments are expected to extensively advance the research of the sun and solar system.
