Sun … This Is Your Life!
The Sun, our star. So easy to take for granted. But it's had an interesting few billion years so far, with several billion more to go. Emily tells the story of the Sun from dust cloud rocked by a supernova shock wave, to violent childhood, to boring middle age, to giant red puffer fish phase, and finally to beautiful planetary nebula illuminated by a white-hot stellar core, slowly fading away.
Syzygy is produced by Chris Stewart and co-hosted by Dr Emily Brunsden from the Department of Physics at the University of York.
