Dr Lucie Green on the mysteries of the Sun
By Lara Carim, on 10 June 2010
Dr Lucie Green works at the Mullard Space Science Laboratory, UCL’s Department of Space and Climate Physics.
She divides her time between research into how the Sun behaves and communicating her work to the public (for which she won an award last year).
Today at Cheltenham she is discussing how scientists monitor the Sun, and its mysterious calm over the past two years which is baffling astronomers.
In this video, Dr Green describes her experience of a total solar eclipse from the Pacific Ocean – and what scientists can learn from such a rare phenomenon.
