From ancient myths of Apollo's fiery chariot to modern atomic science, "Secret of the Sun" traces humanity's evolving understanding of what powers our star—from the Greeks' divine explanations through failed theories of coal combustion and gravitational contraction, to today's atomic research revealing the true engine behind the sun's endless energy. This 1955 tale explores how scientists have come to understand that the conversion of atoms into heat and light keeps our world alive, a discovery that explains what kept early theories from accounting for the sun's remarkable longevity.
