Description: How did the Sun evolve, and what will it become? What
is the origin of its light and heat? How does solar activity affect
the atmospheric conditions that make life on Earth possible? These
are the questions at the heart of solar physics, and at the core of
this book. The Sun is the only star near enough to study in
sufficient detail to provide rigorous tests of our theories and
help us understand the more distant and exotic objects throughout
the cosmos. Having observed the Sun using both ground-based and
spaceborne instruments, the authors bring their extensive personal
experience to this story revealing what we have discovered about
phenomena from eclipses to neutrinos, space weather, and global
warming. This second edition is updated throughout, and features
results from the current spacecraft that are aloft, especially
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, for which one of the authors
designed some of the telescopes.
