Quantum computing, nanotechnology and genetic engineering are exciting fields. But understanding the interaction between the Sun and Earth is at least as important as a scientific frontier.
The Sun Affects Clouds and Ozone, Which In Turn Affect Climate
For example, one of the world's most prestigious science labs has just demonstrated that cosmic rays affect cloud formation - which in turn affects climate - on Earth. Because the sun's output directly determines the amount of cosmic rays which reach the Earth, the sun is an important driver of the Earth's climate.
