jim, if i remember correctly, the first camera to take pictures of the
sun from outside the earth's atmosphere (i.e. in space) was a pinhole
camera mounted to a rocket. the images revealed proof of sun spots and

there have been pinhole cameras on every space flight due to
their unique ability to record high level energy events with
a very small aperture
