Abstract
We present highlights of observations of the Sun with Japanese Hinode mission launched by JAXA in September 2006. The scientific objective of Hinode mission is to observe, in an unprecedented detail, a wide variety of plasma activities in the Sun's corona together with magnetic activities on the photosphere and in the chromosphere, utilizing a suite of three state-of-the-art telescopes; Solar Optical Telescope (SOT), X-Ray Telescope (XRT), and EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS). Since the beginning of the observations late in October 2006, Hinode has been providing ample information on activities of magnetized plasmas in the solar atmosphere some of which are totally new to us. In this article, we present an overview of the Hinode mission as well as some highlights of the observations.
