Definition

A scientist or expert who studies the sun, its properties, structure, behavior, and effects on Earth and space.

Kelly Says

Modern heliologists use satellites and telescopes to study the sun in ways ancient astronomers could only dream about—but they're answering the same fundamental question: 'What is that bright thing in the sky?'
