Why Eclipses Have Been So Important To Human History | Eclipse Chasers | Spark

Featuring the world’s leading eclipse scientists, Eclipse Chasers shows how scientific data collected during a total eclipse plays a key role in the race to understand the sun and its impact on earth – especially the explosive solar storms that cause major power blackouts, satellite failure, and even threaten astronauts in space. In addition, the programme highlights how eclipses deepen our understanding of the sun’s basic functions, and how that knowledge may one day help to solve the world’s future energy needs.
