#9 HBY & Math: The Random Walk Problem 

This webinar explores connections between the Sun and our physical and mental health from solar-inspired sports teams to Sun-themed meditations. How long does it take light to get from the center of the Sun to its surface? Astronomers call this the Random Walk Problem and it is the reason why the Sun has what is called a Radiative Zone between its core and its surface. NASA HEAT / Odenwald
