Sun is largely responsible for life on Earth. However, it has the power to end it as well. Are solar flares able to extinguish life as we know it? A team of scientist tries to answer that question, by studying the eruption of solar flares from 2011, one of the strongest on record. One of the instruments they have at their disposal is Solar Dynamics Observatory, a NASA spacecraft designed to monitor Sun. Secrets of the Sun explains how this mission will help us better understand our star and increase our ability to issue early warnings in case a massive solar eruption happens.
