1) Probing the Solar System

11:00-11:15 GMT

The Sun, like every star, is not static but an ever-changing, dynamic and highly complex ball of plasma. The solar wind, a stream of highly energetic particles ejected by the Sun’s surface, is interacting with our Earth’s own magnetosphere. ESA has launched missions that contributed enormously to a better understanding of the Sun and its interaction with the Earth. Today’s transmission not only looks at the Soho, Cluster and Ulysses missions but also at the future missions to explore the Sun and the solar system. The 6-minute A-roll contains split audio with an English guide track and is complemented by a B-roll. The script is on-line as a PDF document under http://television.esa.int/photos/EbS22547.pdf
