Wonders Of The Sun With Dara O Briain on SBS and SBS on Demand S1E1 – Dara O Briain explores our relationship with the Sun – how its birth gave us life and how its death will eventually take it away.
With characteristic charm and humour, Dara encounters those who have dedicated their lives to understanding the brightest object in the sky. He crosses the Atlantic to witness a total solar eclipse and meets the teams of scientists whose focus is to protect us from the Sun’s deadly power.
This is a stellar encounter with our most dazzling and important heavenly neighbour.
Episode One:
Dara visits the Lone Star state, Texas, extremely excited to watch one of the rarest of solar events: a total eclipse.
We join him and thousands of others as they gather to share this amazing experience. Then Dara meets astronomer Professor Stella Offner, whose research focuses on understanding how stars like the Sun form.
Stella explains how the Sun was created and just how ferociously powerful our star is – but that without it there wouldn’t be life on Earth.
