This Second Edition of Sun, Earth and Sky
updates the popular text by providing
comprehensive accounts of the most recent
discoveries made by five modern solar
spacecraft during the past decade. Their
instruments have used sound waves to peer
deep into the Sun's inner regions and
measure the temperature of its central
nuclear reactor, and extended our gaze far
from the visible Sun to record energetic
outbursts that threaten Earth. Breakthrough
observations with the underground Sudbury
Neutrino Observatory are also included,
which explain the new physics of ghostly
neutrinos and solve the problematic
mismatch between the predicted and
observed amounts of solar neutrinos. This
new Edition of Sun, Earth and Sky also
describes our recent understanding of how
the Sun's outer atmosphere is heated to a
million degrees, and just where the Sun's
continuous winds come from. As humans we
are more intimately linked with our life-
sustaining Sun than with any other
astronomical object, and the new Edition
therefore provides modern interpretations of
ozone depletion and global warming that are
related to both the Sun and to human
activities. Written in a light and friendly
style, this lavishly illustrated book describes
the Sun, its physics, and all aspects of the
Sun's interaction with us on Earth. |
