'The Star on Our Doorstep' with astronomer Brendan Owens

While the night sky in dark sky locations has thousands of stars on show to the naked eye, the star we can explore best dominates the daytime sky instead: our Sun. Join astronomer Brendan Owens on a whirlwind voyage across time and space to hear how humans have built up their understanding of the Sun. From object of worship to finding out how a star works and discovering its complex effects felt on planet Earth, it’s a slow-burn tale of scientific discovery!
