| Description: |
Every day, for billions of years, the Sun has risen over Earth's horizon. It may be 150 million kilometres away, but our star shines so brilliantly in the sky that we cannot look at it with our own eyes, lest we damage them. At the surface, the Sun is 5,500C - hot enough to melt any landing probe into oblivion before it even got close. In other words, the Sun is almost literally too hot to handle. But that does not mean we cannot study it. [Source: BBC News]
