Introduction

Our RHESSI (the Reuven Ramaty High-Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager) has a rich history, and we take the opportunity to devote RHESSI Science Nugget number 100 to a review of how RHESSI came to be. The Nuggets are roughly biweekly, and the first RHESSI Science Nugget was put on line on 21 March 2005 - a few years after RHESSI's launch date, and three years after the discoveries began. The Nuggets are an informal channel for publicizing RHESSI (and solar) discoveries, and the dozens of volunteer authors work towards making them readable by all. This seems to work - the previous Nugget 99 has had 1,301 Web accesses in its first two weeks. This level of citation of a scientific paper might attract the attention of the Nobel Prize committee!
