Travel back to the beginning of time and experience the birth of the Sun. Discover how it came to support life, how it threatens life as we know it, and how its energy will one day fade away. Heliophysics is the main component of the Sunstruck! planetarium show. It includes information on the sun, parts/layers, space weather and its impact on Earth. Several NASA heliophysics missions were used to tell the story including SOHO, IRIS, and SDO. The audience should gain an enhanced understanding of the Sun and how it impacts our world.
