About Nova:Secrets of the Sun
"It contains 99.9 percent of all the matter in our solar system and sheds hot plasma at nearly a million miles an hour. It convulses, it blazes, it sings. You know it as the sun. Now, with the help of new spacecraft and Earth-based telescopes, scientists are seeing the Sun as they never have before and even re-creating what happens at the very center of the Sun in labs here on Earth. Their work will help us understand aspects of the sun that have puzzled scientists for decades. But more critically, it may help us predict and track solar storms that have the power to zap our power grid, shut down telecommunications, and ground global air travel for days, weeks, or even longer. Such storms have happened before - but never in the modern era of satellite communication. "Secrets of the Sun" reveals a bright new dawn in our understanding of our nearest star - one that might help keep our planet from going dark."
