    • Description

      The Sun is the source of life on Earth therefore we must understand how it works and affects our planet. Thanks to Space science we now have a better knowledge of the mechanisms inside the Sun and its effects on the Solar System: storms, winds, rays. ESA missions such as Soho and Clusters give us a full picture of our star and its influence on the Earth.This story recalls both missions and what scientists now understand about our Star.
