Made just prior to the August 1999 Solar Eclipse, this video looks at the actions of the Sun and the instruments used to study it.
Chapters are organised as follows:
LANTERN OF THE WORLD: an overview covering the solar wind and Europe's solar spacecraft
UNDER THE SUN: the structure and actions of the Sun
SOLAR TANTRUMS: solar cycles, coronal mass ejections, effects on space-based technologies
BLOWING IN THE SOLAR WIND: a description of the solar wind, and findings of the spacecraft which have examined it
COVER THE LIGHT: SOHO images of coronal mass ejections, comets hitting the Sun
MAGNETIC MINEFIELDS: the Sun's 'magnetic carpet'
SOLAR ARMADA: a more detailed look at missions Ulysses, SOHO and Cluster
SONG OF THE SUN: how scientists have been able to study the ways in which the Sun works, including recording the sound it makes
