In this talk I will show spectacular new observations of the Sun's atmosphere obtained from the solar physics Hinode mission launched 23 September 2006. Hinode is a Japanese mission with US and UK participation designed to understand the structure, origin, and energetics of the solar atmosphere. Hinode contains three instruments that observe the solar atmosphere from the photosphere into the corona. Two of the instruments are also capable of observing multi-million degree solar flare plasma. I will briefly review the science instruments on Hinode, but the bulk of the talk will focus on the observations themselves, and their implications for solving fundamental physics problems of the solar atmosphere. These include problems such as the emergence, dynamics and evolution of coronal magnetic flux tubes, the connectivity of coronal structures to surface magnetic fields including their response to photospheric surface motions, and the role of magnetic reconnection in the heating and eruption of the atmosphere. Hinode is inaugurating an exciting new era for solar physics with the promise of significant breakthroughs in our understanding of the basic physics of hot solar and stellar plasmas.
