Welcome, everyone! We're excited to bring Solar Week back after over a year of hiatus. Fall 2016 and Spring 2017 see us all looking eagerly forward to one of the biggest solar events of all, a total solar eclipse that will travel a path across the United States next August. What a great time to revisit all we know about the sun. Here your group can pose questions of leading solar scientists.

Remembering Tony Iannone, solar educator 2075 0
Started by Karin Hauck
Solar Week would like to acknowledge the sad passing of Tony Iannone earlier this year. Tony will be remembered for his love of science and solar astronomy, his wonderful attitude and interaction with the public-at-large--especially the Florida school kids who always had questions waiting for him! He will be missed, especially by Jim Stryder, one of his fellow volunteer Solar Week educators-on-the-ground.

Sunspotter: Citizen Science for Solar Physics 2194 0
Started by KD Leka
Hi all; as you saw with the recent blog post, there's a new Zooniverse Citizen Science project called 'Sunspotter', where citizen scientists can help us classify sunspots in the hopes that we can learn something about those which produce solar eruptions and flares. See sunspotter.org. NOTE: this is a new project and, while officially 'launched', is experiencing growing pains, so please be patient / try again later if you experience problems. THANKS! --KD and the rest of the Sunspotter team.

As the post states, 'Amateur radio astronomer Thomas Ashcraft of New Mexico was listening at the time of the eruption. 'I kne...

Hello teachers, scientists, in my more than 25 years of involvement in EPO/informal outreach in astronomy, space sciences, one of the toughest parts of this engagement has been how to approach, or work with I should say with those students who are less fortunate.

TAKE ONE OR TWO OF YOUR CLASS'S MOST INTERESTING QUESTIONS AND POST THOSE. · Try to make your question a little more interesting and a littl...
