Why it works
The first cut arrives at 0:00.5 and the first ten seconds contain seven cuts, carrying a second-person thought experiment from presenter to diagram to real solar footage. A tiny spacecraft and locator graphics make scale changes legible from 1:18 onward, while interview clips around 1:38 and 4:37 provide evidence and reset the visual rhythm. A million-degree figure at 4:46 becomes a question the next minute works to answer.
