The Sun—our life-giving star—is a paradox of creation and destruction. In this episode of Cosmos in a Pod, explore the Sun's dual nature, from ancient reverence to modern technology's vulnerabilities. Discover how solar storms like the 1859 Carrington Event and near-misses like the 2012 CME reveal their immense power.

🔍 Highlights:

  • The Sun’s role in ancient mythology and science.
  • Solar flares, CMEs, and their impact on Earth’s technology.
  • Modern advances in solar monitoring and preparedness.
