The sun accounts for nearly 99 percent of the mass of our solar system, provides heat and light to the eight planets and is responsible for all life on Earth, sustaining billions of plants and animals with its rays, while also driving our planet’s climate and weather patterns.
It is, bar none, the most powerful force we have ever known. And today, we are closer than ever to unlocking its potential to help tackle our nation’s energy and sustainability challenges.
