I'm Alex Young, I'm a scientist here at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. You know, we live with our very own star the Sun. And thanks to NASA's missions like Solar Heliospheric Observatory SOHO or the Solar Dynamics Observatroy, we're able to study the Sun in incredible detail, this allows us to understand what kind of impact it has our technology here on Earth, as well as how it affects us when we one day travel to other planets and maybe someday to other stars.
