What is a Heliostat?

A heliostat (from Helios, the Greek word for sun, and state, as in stationary) is a device that tracks the movement of the sun. The device usually uses a mirror, which is adjusted throughout the day to focus sunlight on a stationary target. Heliostats are used in solar telescopes and solar power generation..
