OUR SCHOOL GOES TO GODDARD!

The things I learned about the sun. I learned that cosmic rays comes from the sun when a CME forms. CME stands for Coronal Mass Ejection. I also learned that filaments occurs on the sun. We have pictures on the sun that we got on the first day. I would show you one having a CME. If you went from the middle of the sun to the end of the sun you will be travling 700,000 km. If you would look at this picture the sun lookes like a big ball of fire. LASCO is a telescope on SOHO (SOLAR AND HELIOSHERIC OBSEVATORY). LASCO is the telescope that is looking at the sun and giving us pictures and movies on the sun. But if you travel from the middle of the earth to the end it would be 6000 km. The sourses of the sun was found on the sun Feb 3. I got to meet two new people Dr. Doug and Mrs Stokes both of them are science teachers. They tought us all about the sun. Then on Thursday Mrs. stokes took us on a real nice tour. Then Dr doug showed us how to us the internet.
