My Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope: Our bare eyes will never see the Sun as the EIT and LASCO lenses do. Not even in Outer Space. Our vision has been extended by these instruments in the same way that our laptops are an extension of our brain. Please look at the Sun.
One day the Little Children will look at this image and roll their eyes. Why does the title of this image honour the EIT-cam when it was clearly taken by the Large Angle Spectrometric COronagraph? The answer, My Daughter, lies in the fact that the words 'Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope' simply roll nicely over My Tongue.
