    Awesome! This is a great doco about the sun with great IMAX cinematography. People who are interested in astronomy as well as cultural history will love this film.

    Definitely get this for your kids whether or not you homeschool! What great footage, awe inspiring. Not very long, with snippets of history and science, I think it was perfect for the k-5 audience.
