From its life-sustaining energy to its explosive geomagnetic storms, the Sun has many mysteries, says astrophysicist Nour E. Rawafi. He sheds light on NASA’s latest endeavor to better understand our fiery neighbor and its impact on the future of society: sending the cutting-edge Parker Solar Probe deep into the Sun’s atmosphere in humanity’s closest-ever approach to a star.(Recorded at TED2024 on April 17, 2024)

It is by far one of the most interesting, groundbreaking, and astonishing speech/presentation on Ted I’ve ever watched.
The storytelling and facts about Sun I get to know is compelling. The footage of Sun made me feel goosebumps. I wasn’t expecting to watch that and it literally shocked me through ecstasy.
Overall this is the example of what impact a simple speech can make.
Really The greatest time to be alive can’t wait to know about the new discovery till December 2024.
