NASA | From Stonehenge to STEREO

Humans have always wanted to learn about the Sun, but our understanding of our favorite star has changed through the centuries. In prepartion for Sun360, when the STEREO spacecrafts will provide the first uninterrupted view of the Sun, this video is a condensed history of how we have studied the Sun over time.

Great teaser but when are we going to see 9-10 minute videos that really get into what you are doing. The videos ive seen since subscribing either seem like trailers or designed for small children. Is there a NASA channel for adults?

Could one tell me the name of that background melody please? Thanks.

Ummmm... it's not yet certain why Stonehenge was built... therefore, saying it built to study the sun is bit of an oversight.
