3 Times We Captured Physical Pieces of the Sun

It s tricky to study the particles of our Sun because Earth’s magnetic field deflects them, but scientists have found ways to do it! They re helping us understand things like the Sun’s origin, what it s made of, and how it might affect future colonization of the Solar System. Hosted by: Reid Reimers SciShow has a spinoff podcast! It s called SciShow Tangents.
