This short overview for NASA's Heliophysics division explains how NASA studies the sun -- and more importantly, how it affects our daily lives.

From forest floor to space, NASA scientists and collaborators are advancing tools and methods to predict, remotely detect, and ultimately mitigate wildfires. That process starts with understanding fire behavior, tracking them with satellites, and getting that data in the hands of land managers and communities facing record-breaking fire seasons.
