| Summary/Abstract |
Our Sun is one of the most familiar objects in the sky. We depend on it for light and heat. But the Sun will not be around forever- like all stars, it will eventually die. What will this mean for life on Earth? Includes diagrams to help explain the concepts, hands-on experiments and observations to try for yourself and photographs taken by telescopes on Earth and in space.
