Opis

The highly complex processes that take place inside a star like our Sun are the subject of extensive study and several observatories are dedicated solely to this field of research. The Sun's activity directly affects our daily lives, for example, our communications systems; thus, researchers require a reference work that presents the state of research on this subject matter in a coherent manner.
