在这部太阳 ─ 生命之源纪录片/短片片中,人类对太阳的敬畏由远古崇拜到现代的科学发现从未停止。数十亿年来,太阳的温暖孕育着地球上的生命。这颗恒星不仅供给我们光和热,还带动地球上的风与天气。而它在天空中的运动,透过日夜更替和季节变化,主宰我们的生活节奏。此外,太阳更为现代社会提供大部分的能源,包括我们长期依赖的化石燃料,亦是数百万年前动植物储存的太阳能。
天象节目《太阳 ─ 生命之源》带领我们踏上启迪之旅,探寻古代民族崇敬和记录太阳运动的方式,揭开这颗对我们至关重要的恒星的重大秘密,以及与它的密切关系。(来源:香港太空馆)
The Sun has shone on our world for four and a half billion years. The light that warms our skin today has been felt by every person who has ever lived. It is our nearest star and our planet's powerhouse, the source of the energy that drives our winds, our weather and all life. The passage of the Sun's fiery disc across the sky - day by day, month by month - was the only way to keep track of time for countless past civilisations. Don't be fooled by the terminology; although it is a typical dwarf star, the Sun consumes 600 million tons of hydrogen each second and is 500 times as massive as all the planets combined. Discover the secrets of our star in this planetarium show and experience never-before-seen images of the Sun's violent surface in immersive fulldome format. Our team has worked with some of the most talented planetarium producers to bring you this visually striking planetarium show about the most important star in our lives.
