A great event at Rock Eagle today.  Frank and Theo presented the sun to a group of individuals, from young to older.  A one hour presentation about the sun, the effect it has on our daily lives, the natural protections in place, and how, and why we need to study the sun.  Great discussions about the Stereo 360 mission from NASA in which young and old participated.  Than it went outside for another hour to observe the sun.  Everyone got a feeling for the relative distances in the solar system by comparing the 6 foot sun on the side of the truck to the small earth on a stick.  It was a real eye opener to see how far that small size of earth is away from the sun.  Despite the clouds rolling through all got to take a look at the sun, which did not show much activity today.    Click the thumbnail to access the gallery.
