SECRETS OF THE SUN WITH DARA Ó BRIAIN
Series Director
Channel 5 | 2 x 60’ | BBC Studios
This two-part series sees DARA Ó BRIAIN embark on another journey of discovery, this time exploring our relationship with the Sun. Dara meets solar experts at the forefront of their fields – from medical researchers to biologists.
He talks to physicists figuring out how to protect the Earth from solar superstorms and engineers actually building a sun on earth, in the form of the world’s largest nuclear fusion reactor.
The Sun, a 4.5-billion-year-old star really does dominate our lives, because without it, we quite literally wouldn’t be here.
Filming locations: USA, France, UK.
