The structure of the sun and its surface temperature and brightness are discussed as background for explaining the ASTP joint experiment to photograph the solar corona from Soyuz while the Apollo spacecraft created an artificial eclipse by blocking out the sun. Stellar spectra, stellar evolution, and the Milky Way galaxy are explored in relation to the MA-083 experiment to survey the sky for extreme ultraviolet sources and background radiation. Interstellar gas and the spectrum of helium are discussed in relation to the MA-088 experiment designed to detect interstellar helium entering the solar system and to measure its density and motion.
