Excellent information for a brief overview of the eclipse and the science behind it!

From the lesson

How did the sun form?

When you look at Hubble Space Telescope images of beautiful clouds of gas in space you are seeing what happened in our own solar system 4 ½ billion years ago when the sun formed. This week we explain how that process works.
