The Sun - Powerhouse of the Solar System
S1 E1:
The Sun is our local star - a nuclear reactor at the hub of the Solar System. Each second, the Sun loses four million tons of mass - energy that will keep the Sun blazing for another five billion years. Electrically charged particles stream from the Sun - the solar wind. Twists in the magnetic field trigger gigantic ejections that turn the wind into a storm.
