Humanity has long been in awe of the Sun, from ancient worship to modern scientific discoveries.
The warmth of the Sun has nurtured life on Earth for billions of years. Our star offers more than just light and heat to us. It drives winds and weather phenomena on Earth, while its apparent motion in the sky governs the rhythms of our lives through the cycle of days and seasons. Moreover, the Sun supplies the majority of the energy consumed by modern society, including the fossil fuels we heavily rely on. These fuels are the result of solar energy stored by animals and plants millions of years ago.
The Sky Show The Sun, Our Living Star takes us on an illuminating journey of discovery. We will explore how ancient people revered and recorded the Sun’s celestial motions, uncover the significant secrets of this star that has profound effects on our lives, and how we are closely connected to it.
