We have always seen the Sun in our sky, but only in the last 400 years we have been able to really understand it. Let's talk about the history of exploring the Sun, from Galileo to the theories of the 1800 and 1900s, to the first spacecraft exploring the Sun, and even to modern day exploration. We talk about Luna 1, Parker Solar Probe, the Pioneer missions, Ranger 4, Ulysses, DISCOVR, and more!
