The Sun: a powerfully unimaginative title to a talk on our closest star
Up there! In the
sky! It's a bird! It's a plane!
It's a giant flaming mass of incandescent gas!
Ultimately the source of all life on earth (I know, I
thought it was Pop-Tarts, too), the Sun is our most massive and active stellar
neighbor, certainly worthy of investigation.
Over the years, the Sun has been the source of several scientific
questions that have sometimes taken decades to solve. Are there new elements in the Sun that are
not on Earth? Where did all the
neutrinos go? That corona is SO HOT
RIGHT NOW, but why? Hear about these
questions and more (like why total solar eclipses are becoming a thing of the
past) from a severely oppressed first-year forced to work against his
will! Obligatory guest appearance by They Might Be Giants.
