Dark Side of the Sun

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The most important star in the universe is changing. Something has altered its twenty-two year cycle, and we can no longer take the sun for granted. An eighty-year-old scientist has made it his job to warn the world. Yet, no one will listen to the old coot – except two eleven-year-old youngsters. They call him Grandpa and would follow him anywhere, even to the depths of the galaxy. That is if they could. Problem? There is no way to get there, unless the old man can figure out the Big Bang theory. Within that mystery is a powerful secret, one that can break the code to deep space exploration. Mr. Steven Lucas is convinced our star is headed for a supernova even though its mass is considered too small for that event to occur. He is determined to find the answer or blow up the world trying. But he cannot accomplish this feat alone. Being a brilliant scientist, he solicits the technology savvy of the two youngsters, Parker and Joey, who are computer geniuses. His own son, Steve, is skeptical; and Steve’s fiancée, Sandy, is cautious. However, the sly old fox is able to pull the family together in his research whether they like it or not. When a solar flair is sighted, it is observed as a sporadic occurrence. However, when the flairs become frequent and closer, it is determined the earth is under attack. It is all coming to pass just like Mr. Lucas warned. By now the old man knows where to go, but there is no way to get there.
