We see it as an impassive, brilliant disk in the sky. But a closer look reveals a Sun in constant and violent upheaval. Unimaginably vast charges of flaming gas burst to its surface and beyond, erupting into magnetic typhoons that reach across millions of miles to stir up trouble here on Earth. Back on the Sun's surface, magnetism congeals inexplicably into dark stains as big as our world. The Sun is a thrilling, hair-raising mystery, and science is in hot pursuit of its secrets.
