Get to know the legacy of Hisako Koyama, whose drawings of the Sun’s surface helped scientists reconstruct 400 years of sunspot activity.Uploaded 24-05-21--In 1944, amateur astronomer Hisako Koyama’s latest endeavor was sketching the Sun’s shifting surface. She spent weeks angling her telescope towards the Sun and tracking every change she saw with drawings. Little did she know, these drawings were the start of one of the most important records of solar activity in human history. Alex Gendler details the incredible legacy of Koyama's work.Lesson by Alex Gendler, directed by Martina Meštrović.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-woman-who-stared-at-the-sun-alex-gendlerDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-woman-who-stared-at-the-sun-alex-gendler#digdeeperAnimator's website: https://vimeo.com/martinamestrovic----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
