The third Japanese solar observing satellite, SOLAR-B, was launched on 2006 Sep 23 from the Uchinoura Space Center of JAXA and it was named as "Hinode" (sunrise). Hinode carries three major telescopes: Solar Optical Telescope (SOT), X-ray Telescope (XRT), and Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (EIS). This presentation introduces initial results from recent X-ray and EUV observations of the solar transition region and corona.
