The film tells about the uncovering of the secret of solar flares and the cooperation of various countries in the international Intercosmos program.
In the year of the sixtieth anniversary of the Great October Revolution, a group of employees of the Lebedev Physical Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences was awarded the USSR State Prize for a series of works on solar X-ray radiation.
