Our knowledge of the universe has increased tremendously over
the last century, and our discoveries are not over - there remain
scientific mysteries that the next generation of astronomers and
planetary scientists will need to solve. This volume in the
"Greenwood Guides to the Universe" series covers the Sun, and
provides readers with the most up-to-date understanding of the
current state of scientific knowledge. Scientifically sound, but
written with the student in mind, "The Sun" is an excellent first
step for researching the exciting scientific discoveries of the
star at the center of our solar system.
"The Sun" discusses all areas of research surrounding the
subject, including: Sunspots and the solar surface; the many faces
of the solar atmosphere; the solar wind and solar storms; and the
long-term climate effects on the earth's atmosphere. The volume
includes a glossary and a bibliography of useful resources for
learning more about the subject.
