Sun Earth Day 2007- Living in the Atmosphere of the Sun
Sun-Earth Day always happens on the equinox- March 20 or 21, if there isn’t a special event in March as it was last year on the 29th. This year the equinox occurs on March 20th. We will feature a web cast Living in the Atmosphere of the Sun to share information about some of the new missions and their interrelated stories as they study to Sun.
The month of February will also feature some special resources to provide more information about the Sun and the missions that study the Sun. On February 22nd at 1:00 EDT we will feature a special web cast-
Sun’s impact on the Solar System, Moon, Mars and Beyond
Eric Christian, NASA HQ heliosphere and Voyager Mission
Rich Vondrak, NASA Goddard (Solar Wind on Earth and Moon)
Jim Thieman, NASA Goddard (Jupiter)
Dave Hamilton, NASA Langley Atmospheric Scientist
Sheri Kluge, Univ. of AZ (Mars)
Parkland Middle School’s Space Weather Action Center
During the web cast a special email address will be available for questions and students will share how they use NASA data to Track a Solar Storm and provide Space Weather forecasts.
