The National Solar Observatory is a public research entity whose mission is to engage in the development of the knowledge of the Sun.
The institution is currently evoked to the construction of the Daniel K Inouye Solar Telescope, which is located on the island of Maui, in the State of Hawaii. The project started in January 2013.
The initial phase of the construction involved the civil works. Specifically the telescope housing, which was completed in September 2013.
The second phase involves the actual installation of the telescope. The first mirror, which has a thickness of 75 mm and a diameter of 12 meters was delivered to the site on August 2, 2017. The process is expected to conclude by early 2019, with the reception and further installation of the second mirror.
Hernando de Soto was a Spanish explorer who led the first European expedition deep into the territory of today's United States. Historians worked a lot to trace the route of his expedition. It started in 1539. in Florida: de Soto landed his ships in Tampa Bay. In 1540., they continued to move north-east, through today's Georgia, having heard the gold being mined "towards the sun's rising". The expedition continued trough present-day South Carolina and then to north, across Appalachian Mounthains of North Carolina, and after that entered Tennessee. In 1941. de Soto and his expedition turned westwards, and reached river Mississippi. De Soto was the first European man that crossed Mississippi. They continued trough modern-day Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and later returned to Mississippi. De Soto died in 1942.
The growth of the empire continued to increase their confidence.
