Lecture

As an unremarkable, middle-aged star, the Sun provides the heat, light and the energy necessary for life on Earth. The secrets of how it works have slowly been discovered, and yet many basic questions remain. We will discuss some of the processes that power the sun, the “space weather” it generates, and the Parker Solar Probe, NASA’s mission to “Touch the Sun”.
