Total Run Time: 24:30 Director: Thomas Lucas Country of Origin: United States Ratings: None Synopsis: Solar Superstorms is a major new production that takes viewers into the tangle of magnetic fields and superhot plasma that vent the Sun’s rage in dramatic flares, violent solar tornadoes, and the largest eruptions in the solar system: Coronal Mass Ejections. Focusing on the Sun’s effects on Earth’s atmospheric, communications, and power systems, the show features one of the most intensive efforts ever made to visualize the inner workings of the sun, including a series of groundbreaking scientific visualizations computed on the Blue Waters supercomputer, based at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), University of Illinois.
