The Sun provides Earth with warmth, light, and the energy
that fuels our entire ecosystem. As the largest body in the
solar system, the Sun is the focal point and guides the planets
in their orbits.
It is no surprise that it has been worshiped by
cultures throughout history, yet there is still much that is not
known about the Sun. Once thought to be constant and unchanging,
it is only in modern times that is has become evident that the
Sun is in fact extremely dynamic.
Since the invention of the
telescope, knowledge of the Sun has grown at an extraordinary
rate. Each discovery brings new ideas and often conflict. Even
now, our understanding of the Sun is constantly being redefined
as each new discovery is made.
