The First Edition of The Sun from Space, completed in 1999, focused
on the early accomplishments of three solar spacecraft, SOHO,
Ulysses, and Yohkoh, primarily during a minimum in the Sun's
11-year cycle of magnetic activity. The comp- hensive Second
Edition includes the main ndings of these three spacecraft over an
entire activity cycle, including two minima and a maximum, and
discusses the signi cant results of six more solar missions. Four
of these, the Hinode, RHESSI, STEREO, and TRACE missions were
launched after the First Edition was either nished or nearly so,
and the other two, the ACE and Wind spacecraft, extend our
investigations from the Sun to its varying input to the Earth. The
Second Edition does not contain simple updates or cosmetic patch
ups to the material in the First Edition. It instead contains the
relevant discoveries of the past decade, integrated into chapters
completely rewritten for the purpose. This provides a fresh
perspective to the major topics of solar enquiry, written in an
enjoyable, easily understood text accessible to all readers, from
the interested layperson to the student or professional.
