"Every time your heart beats, an electrical current has been sent from certain cells to the rest of the heart muscle tissue, triggering your heart to contract and push blood through your body. When these signals go awry, major health issues such as heart attacks can occur. Enter the pacemaker, a small implanted device that keeps your heart beating. But did you know, implantable pacemakers were invented by accident? This title explores the history, struggles, and the accidental invention of the pacemaker, a device that beats hundreds of thousands of times each year to save people's lives."--.

Without the sun, our solar system would fall apart. Its gravity is what keeps planets and other celestial bodies moving in orbit. Additionally, the sun plays a big role in Earth's weather, climate, and seasons. We wouldn't know of this if we hadn't spent a lot of time over hundreds of years studying the sun! In this intriguing book, readers head to the yellow dwarf star that is our sun with satellites, probes, and through high-powered telescopes to discover the amazing information missions to and around the sun have taught NASA and other space scientists around the world.
