Sun|trek is an interactive website found at www.suntrek.org with some spectacular images and movies. You can take a journey with a team of solar experts to our nearest star and learn how it plays such an important role in our day to day lives.

The journey begins in the centre of the Sun and takes the intrepid explorer (that's you!) through the hot solar atmosphere and into the Sun's magnetic field, before onto the Earth and beyond to see how our life-giving star plays with the rest of the Solar System bodies.

There are lots of classroom projects too, as well as a gallery of awesome pictures and movies of everything from sunspots to solar flares. There are also links to all the Sun-exploring satellites, where you can keep up to date with the latest hot news in solar science.
