Abstract

Astrophysicist R. Grant Athay views the sun and stars as the most valuable laboratories for studying the basic physical processes of the universe. He describes the sun's physical properties, including its chemical makeup, core, corona, energy output, and life span. He interprets scriptural creation accounts from Genesis and the book of Moses in the Pearl of Great Price.
