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.
Spacefiles: The Universe Explained
How will the Universe end? Rather than slowing down, the expansion of the cosmos seems to be speeding up. The 50-billion galaxies thought to comprise the Universe are moving farther and farther apart. As energy runs out, the ultimate prospect is cold, dark and lonely. Intriguingly, other universes may exist.
An enthralling overview of the Solar System, our Galaxy and the greater Universe. In a flow of superb CGI, glorious images from deep space and incisive writing, 26 beautifully crafted episodes deliver the compelling fundamentals of space, astronomy and cosmic exploration.
