China successfully tests ‘Artificial Sun’, 5 times more powerful than real sun

China's artificial sun, during the test, ran at 70 million degrees Celsius for as long as 1,056 seconds- or 17 minutes and 36 seconds. It was almost five times hotter than the real sun which hits a temperature of 15 million degrees Celsius at its core. The machine strives at utilizing the power of nuclear fusion which is a less explored way of harnessing nuclear energy.
