Every 11 years the sun’s poles reverse with unimaginable violence. The peak of the storm is called a solarmax.

The hottest film under the sun, Solarmax is a breathtaking exploration into the awesome vastness and mysterious power of our closest star. Take a unique journey through time and space and experience the sun’s severe force and beauty. Witness a total eclipse and the magnificence of the Aurora Borealis, viewed from both Earth and space.

Real images captured by NASA;s SOHO satellite provide spectacular footage of the sun as never seen before. A spectacular and historic film about mankind’s relationship with our dangerous and beautiful life-giving star.

Released in 2000. 40 min. Director: John Weiley. IMAX documentary film.

Watched this last night, was really good.
