This flick opens by revealing the enormity and extreme heat of the sun through a very old-fashioned cartoon. A solar eclipse is explained by Mr. Nye, and a safe way to examine an image of the sun is demonstrated. That's the extent of this video, not for use as a stand-alone, but perhaps useful when introducing a unit on the sun or solar system.
