The Sun over Memorial Middle School 5/16, 17, 18

21 May, 2012 (10:16) | Events, Observing, Outreach | By: tramakers

Frank and Theo did a three day outreach event for 12 classes at Memorial Middle School on 5/16, 5/17, and 5/18. In the classroom, Theo made a presentation to the 6th graders about how NASA helps study the Sun with satellites like SOHO, SDO and Stereo A and B. They also learned about how the sun can affect our lives on Earth and how the Earth protects us from some of the bad emissions of the Sun. Outside, the students were able to observe the sun in white light and H-alpha, and learned about the relative sizes of the Sun and Earth. (Click the thumbnail for more pictures of the events)
