How much would it cost to purchase the Sun? - Cella Wright

Dig into the monetary value of the Sun and how important it is as our energy source as Daedalus contemplates buying it.--Daedalus hasn’t been the same since losing Icarus. Suddenly, he begins expressing interest in buying the Sun from Helios. Rumors say Daedalus is aspiring to destroy it to avenge Icarus — or channel its immense power towards other imprudent aims. He summons a divine accountant and asks: how much would it cost to buy the Sun? Cella Wright conducts a financial analysis of our star’s worth.Lesson by Cella Wright, directed by Igor Ćorić, Artrake Studio.This video made possible in collaboration with Speed & ScaleLearn more about how TED-Ed partnerships work: https://bit.ly/TEDEdPartnerA special thanks to Galen Barbose who provided information and insights for the development of this video.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/how-much-would-it-cost-to-buy-the-sun-cella-wrightDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-much-would-it-cost-to-buy-the-sun-cella-wright/digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.artrake.comMusic: https://www.workplaywork.com----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
