1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,010   2 00:00:00,010 --> 00:00:04,360 -For example a comet is, a comet's tail 3 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,390 is just the solar wind going over this icy body, stripping off 4 00:00:08,390 --> 00:00:12,440 particles, ionizing the particles-- -Something I think that's cool about the sun 5 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,480 is that even though it looks really big, it is actually a small star. 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,550 -actually made out of a old, large refrigerator box. So my two friends and I got inside the box 7 00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:24,610 to actually view the eclipse. And I really wish somebody had a camera-- 8 00:00:24,610 --> 00:00:28,660 -about the sun is the fact that it has a wind. Actually 9 00:00:28,660 --> 00:00:32,729 plasma that comes off the surface of the sun, that's flowing toward the Earth-- 10 00:00:32,729 --> 00:00:36,800 -the sun has a differential rotation. Imagine 11 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,890 the belly moving and the nose refuses to move. And that's what-- 12 00:00:40,890 --> 00:00:44,990 -learned about the sun is that it is one of the primary sources of energy, and so 13 00:00:44,990 --> 00:00:49,090 without it there would be no life on Earth.
