This one hour documentary about the sun was written and produced by Frank Capra. It starred Eddie Albert. I was 10 when it was on TV but never heard of it until youtube. It pits romanticism against scientific facts. It became relevant to me during what I call "the era of solar eclipses." I am preparing myself for total solar eclipses seen in Indonesia in 2016 and western Kentucky USA in 2017. Even though this film uses animated cartoons for comic relief, the information imparted is as relevant today as it was in 1956. The sun is 93 million miles away. Its light takes 8 minutes to reach us. The temperature on its surface is 11 thousand degrees. The temperature at its core is 30 million degrees. We can trace all the energy on Earth back to Mr. Sun.
