Sunset flimflam! Auroras! Eclipse tips! Let’s get to know the center of our solar system, the Sun,  as the April 8th eclipse approaches. What is it made of? How big is it? Will it explode soon? Why can’t I stare at it? And why is it wearing sunglasses? Dr. Michael Kirk and almost-Dr. India Jackson are brilliant and charming Heliologists who have both worked with NASA’s heliophysics departments. Get to know them and also the giant hot plasma ball we revolve around. You’ll never (not look at it) the same. Follow Michael on <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=h3EscCUAAAAJ&hl=en" target="_blank">Google Scholar</a>Visit India’s <a href="https://www.lgphy.com/india" target="_blank">website</a> and follow her on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/astronomical_beauty/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/astro_beauty" target="_blank">X</a> and <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=y2wxkB8AAAAJ" target="_blank">Google Scholar</a>Watch <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/live/" target="_blank">NASA’s Total Solar Eclipse Live Broadcast</a> on April 8, 2024Donations went to <a href="https://my.astronomerswithoutborders.org/home" target="_blank">Astronomers Without Borders</a> and the <a href="https://www.gradyhealthfoundation.org/" target="_blank">Grady Memorial Hospital Health Foundation</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/heliology">More episode sources and links</a><a href="https://alieward.com/smologies">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/selenology">Selenology (THE MOON)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/cosmology">Cosmology (THE UNIVERSE)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/meteorology">Meteorology (WEATHER & CLIMATE)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/nephology">Nephology (CLOUDS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/blackholetheorycosmology">Black Hole Theory Cosmology (WHAT ARE BLACK HOLES?!)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/discardanthropology">Discard Anthropology (GARBAGE)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/tiktokology">Tiktokology (THE TIKTOK APP)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/spacearchaeology">Space Archaeology (SPACE JUNK)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/areology">Aerology (MARS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/quantumontology">Quantum Ontology (WHAT IS REAL?)</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies" target="_blank">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/" target="_blank">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow @Ologies on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/ologies" target="_blank">X</a>Follow @AlieWard on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.twitter.com/alieward" target="_blank">X</a>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/" target="_blank">Maitland Audio Productions</a> and Jacob ChaffeeManaging Director: Susan HaleScheduling producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo" target="_blank">Kelly R.
