The Sun

Solar science has entered a golden age. Exploring discoveries made possible through new orbital and ground-based technology, this program offers fascinating conclusions concerning the past, present, and future of the star that gives our planet life. Featuring images from the SOHO and TRACE satellites as well as the Swedish solar telescope on Las Palmas, the program presents analysis of the inferno at the Sun’s core and the magnetic chaos of its surface—along with views of the heliosphere, which for years could only be observed during eclipses. The program also considers whether or not the Sun’s power can be harnessed to meet escalating global energy needs. A BBCW Production. (60 minutes)
