The Secret Life of the Sun

Using satellite images and the expertise of Britain's leading solar scientists, Kate Humble and Helen Czerski investigate the inner workings of the star and the influence its cycles of activity have on Earth. They reveal the sun is more active now than it has been for a decade, sending out super-heated plasma and waves of radiation, and examine why some experts think longer-term changes in its behaviour may have powerful effects on the world's climate

The Secret Life of the Sun airs on BBC Four at 8:00 PM, Wednesday 12 November. (Subtitles, audio description.)
