The documentary explores the study of the Sun through the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter space missions, in which LIRA is heavily involved. These probes enable analysis of the solar magnetic field and a better understanding of its role in the mechanisms of solar activity.
The film features several members of LIRA who are heavily involved in these missions : Milan Maksimovic, Director of LIRA, Nicole Vilmer, Emeritus Research Director, Xavier Bonnin, Research Engineer, and Isabelle Bualé, Assistant Engineer. Part of the filming took place at the Paris Observatory, on the Meudon site.
