Inside the Sun is a fascinating science podcast hosted by Peter Paul, exploring the incredible star at the center of our solar system.The Sun may look like an ordinary bright circle in the sky, but behind that familiar light is an enormous nuclear-powered world of plasma, extreme temperatures, magnetic storms, solar wind, and forces powerful enough to influence every planet around it.Each episode takes one amazing fact about the Sun and turns it into an easy-to-follow story. Discover how more than a million Earths could fit inside the Sun, why sunlight takes more than eight minutes to reach us, what happens inside its 15-million-degree core, how solar storms create beautiful auroras, and what will eventually happen when the Sun reaches the end of its life.Hosted by Peter Paul, Inside the Sun makes astronomy entertaining, understandable, and full of surprising discoveries.Look toward the sky—and discover the extraordinary star that makes life on Earth possible.

10 OCT. 2026 · The Sun cannot simply vanish, but imagining that impossible event reveals how deeply Earth depends on it. Peter Paul explores what would happen during the first eight minutes, how our planet’s orbit would change, why temperatures would fall, and what the loss of sunlight would mean for photosynthesis and life. This thought experiment brings together the Sun’s essential roles as our source of light, warmth, energy, and gravitational stability.

6 OCT. 2026 · The Sun is enormous compared with Earth, but it is relatively ordinary among the many kinds of stars in the universe. Peter Paul compares our G-type star with small, long-lived red dwarfs and enormous giants and supergiants. Discover how a star’s mass affects its brightness, temperature, lifetime, and final fate—and why the Sun’s long-lasting stability has been so important for life on Earth.

4 OCT. 2026 · NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has entered the Sun’s outer atmosphere and traveled closer to our star than any spacecraft before it. Host Peter Paul explores the probe’s extraordinary heat shield, its carefully designed orbit, and the scientific mysteries it is helping researchers investigate. Learn what “touching the Sun” really means and how these daring observations may improve our understanding of solar wind and space weather.

2 OCT. 2026 · Space has weather too, and much of it originates on the Sun. Peter Paul examines solar wind, flares, coronal mass ejections, and geomagnetic storms. Discover how solar activity can create spectacular auroras while disrupting radio signals, satellites, navigation systems, electrical grids, and space missions. The episode also explains why modern society increasingly depends on accurate space-weather forecasting.

30 SEP. 2026 · The energy behind wind, clouds, rain, and many powerful storms begins at the Sun. In this episode, Peter Paul explains how uneven solar heating creates temperature and pressure differences across Earth. Learn how sunlight drives atmospheric circulation and the water cycle, while oceans, land, rotation, and greenhouse gases help shape the weather and climate we experience.

29 SEP. 2026 · The Sun is often drawn as a yellow circle, but from space its light appears essentially white. Peter Paul explores how Earth’s atmosphere scatters different wavelengths of light, making the Sun appear yellow during the day and orange or red near the horizon. Discover how sunsets reveal the journey of sunlight through our atmosphere—and why “yellow dwarf” does not mean the Sun is literally yellow.

27 SEP. 2026 · During a total solar eclipse, daylight fades and the Sun’s hidden corona appears around the Moon. Host Peter Paul explains the remarkable alignment that makes this spectacle possible and why the Sun and Moon appear almost equal in size from Earth. Learn the difference between total, partial, and annular eclipses, along with the eye-safety rules everyone must follow when observing them.

25 SEP. 2026 · Solar flares are sudden releases of magnetic energy capable of sending intense radiation across the solar system. In this episode, Peter Paul explains how flares form, how quickly their effects can reach Earth, and how they differ from coronal mass ejections. Discover why scientists monitor active regions on the Sun and how powerful events can influence radio communication, satellites, astronauts, navigation, and power systems.

23 SEP. 2026 · Sunspots look like dark marks on the Sun, but some are larger than Earth and remain incredibly hot. Peter Paul explains how powerful magnetic fields create these cooler-looking regions, why sunspots often appear in groups, and how their numbers rise and fall during the Sun’s approximately eleven-year activity cycle. The episode also includes an essential reminder about observing the Sun safely.

21 SEP. 2026 · The Sun may appear to be one glowing sphere, but it contains several fascinating layers. Host Peter Paul takes listeners through the core, radiative zone, convection zone, photosphere, chromosphere, and corona. Learn how each region plays a different role in transporting energy and why the Sun’s outer atmosphere is strangely much hotter than its visible surface.
