影片簡介
《活力太陽》描述太陽貌似寧靜但極為活躍的一面,觀眾可藉此親身感受太陽前所未見的威力和姿采。本片帶你從「追?」號?星的X-光眼,到利用位於亞里桑那州基特峰天文台上的太陽望遠鏡觀看太陽,藉此探索人類從古至今對太陽觀點的改變。觀眾可以藉此了解亞里士多德、哥白尼、伽利略和克卜勒對太陽正確和錯誤的觀點,以及他們如何繼往開來地大大改變人們對太陽的看法。
《活力太陽》由日冕儀製作公司與美國芝加哥科學及工業博物館聯合製作,並獲美國國家科學基金贊助拍攝。
《活力太陽》在攝製方面達到了驚人的成就。它成功的呈現了不同波長里的太陽以及活動中的北極光極為清晰的圖像。在看到這部電影前,我不知道原來北極光速度有那么快。暗淡的,快速移動的光是攝影機很難捕捉的,影片的技術當然是許多年在這領域孜孜不倦研究的結果。
為了使得科學平易近人,《活力太陽》還講述了人類和太陽的關係。它帶領我們參觀許多人類遺址,並講述它們建造者的故事。圖片和音樂都非常動人。
製片和導演的講解如同影片本身一樣吸引人。並且還有一部20世紀60年代描繪北極光的短片,也很有觀賞性。
