On the first day at NASA's GSFC we talked about the Sun. We learned that the sun is a star. Dr. Doug Biesecker and Mrs. Stokes gave everyone a notebook. We fixed up our own notebook. It was fun on the first day. The next day some people read their journal sheet they told alot about the sun then we interviewed Dr. Durden and we were about to interview Dr.jo then we went out side to eat lunch. The next day which was Wednesday we talk about sun gases , the sun core , the comets and the Cme .We interviewed Dr. Crannell he told us alot about his self like were he worked and more. On Thursday we talked about SOHO and LASCO. It was fun today which is Friday the last day here. We are writing on the cumputer and it so fun. I hope to see Mrs. Stoke and Dr. Doug Biesecker again.

What I learned at Goddard

We learned about SOHO which stands for Solar and Heliosphere Observatory. And we learn about the comet and what the comet is made of. The comet is made of ice and rocks.

We learn about the CME. Which stands for Coronal Mass Ejective. And what a CME can cause If it comes to Earth. It can turn off the power. And people phones/lights /and computers would be off.

What I did at Goddard

The first day at Goddard we talked about SOHO it stands for Solar and Heliospheric observatory. We learned about LASCO and CME's, is a telescope that is on SOHO. CME stands for Coronal Mass Ejections that, means that it is storms on the sun, we were going to Goddard to learn about the sun. We saw videos about what the sun did overnight at Goddard. Then we ate lunch and then we put or notebooks together and we took notes, we put notes in or vocabulary sections such as Lagrangian Point,CME's,SOHO, magnetic fields, LASCO, cosmetic rays and solar winds and that was our day at Goddard. The second day at Goddard we went to another building we didn't do anything that much it was cold. We watched videos what the sun did overnight and we ssaw some comets going to the sun and exploding. Then we ate lunch afterthat we enterviewed 1 person, he was from IBM and from ATaT.We couldn't enterview Dr, Jo. Then we went back on the bus and went home. On the third day we watched some videos what the sun did overnight and we saw another video about comets going to the sun. Then we ate and we did a gragh on comets that was what we did that day. Yesterday we worked on the computers yesterday and we went on the internet and I looked up the wrestling code for the wrestling and we didn't do much work. Then we went on a tour after we ate our lunch then we went on the tour we saw fish, gessee, turtles, and some ducks at the pond and it was hot and windy yesterday that was our day.

My Week at Goddard

Hi! I'm here to tell you what I have learned about the sun this week. I know the parts of the sun, what color the sun is and what the sun be doing at night. The sun is a very huge yellowish ball. The parts of the sun are Filament, Chromosphere, Sunspot, Convective, and Radiative Zones, Core, Photosphere, Prominence, CoronalStreamer, and CoronalHole. Also I know some other stuff and what it stands for. I know what LASCO is and what SOHO and CME stands for. LASCO is a telescope on SOHO. SOHO stand SOLAR HELIOSPHERIC OBSERVATORY. CME stands for CORONAL MASS EJECTION. I had a great time this week studying about the Sun.

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.

My Week At NASA

On our trip to NASA we learned about the Sun. Like for example we learned about the Sun's atmosphere and a storm on the son called The Coronal Mass Ejections. On the first day we looked at photographs about the sun the Serts and Hessi Labatory's to enter view people and learn about what they were working on. One man was working on an grid for a satellite while the other was workinng on a space shuttle. On the next two days we finished our lesson on the Sun and got to enter view Mr. Durden a IBM computer sells man. Then started on a new lesson about comets such as what their made of ice and rocks. I'm really happy that we were one of the schools that were picked for this program and I want to thank Mrs. Jeana and Mr. Biesecker for helping us in the Sunbeams Program. One of the best parts about the sun I like was how it's magnetic forces directly affect the earth and the rest of the solar system. we also learned about different parts of the sun such as the core, radiative zone, convective zone, coronal hole, filament, chromosphere sunspot, and coronal streamer.

"A VISIT TO NASA!"

At my week at NASA, I studied the Sun. I first interviewed my new Godderd teachers. They were Dr.Doug, and Mrs. Stokes. I didn't quite interview Mrs. Stokes but I did interview Dr. Doug. He told me alot of interesting things like the distance from the center to the surface. Another thing he showed me was some movies of the Sun and how it looks over night. And sometimes he would give us some information on a storm that is coming in the near future from the Sun. It is called CME (Coronal Mass Ejection). It can affect the Earth's electricity by putting alot of high voltage into our powerlines. When we heard about the CME we were told that the IBM company was going to bring a volunteer to hear about the CME and how it can affect his company. So we interviewed him and explained the CME to him. After that day we learned about comets. We saw some pictures and animations of some comets. It is made up of ice and rocks. Then we did a graph on comets. After that we had fun talking about the comet. After that we went to the computer lab and did a worksheet about the Sun on the internet. After that I got to play on the computer. Then we left.

The comets and the sun

When we first went to Goddard, we got a notebook and fixed the notebooks up. Then we interviewed Dr. Doug Biesecker who works at Goddard Space Flight Center. We worked with Mrs. Stokes who passed out some paper to us and we had to write whatquestions to ask and what not to ask when we interviewed people. Mr. Linard and Mr. Merrick Berg were two of the people we interviewd. We went back to the room we were in and talked more about the Sun.

The next day we were not in the same building. We went to a cabin and we had to tell Dr. Hall Crannal that a coronal mass ejection was coming from the Sun in 2 1/2 days.

My five days at NASA

I learned that the sun has a heart and that it has flares that are 200,000 degrees, 100,000 degrees or 2,000,000 degrees. Our two tutors for the trip to NASA there names was Dr. Doug, and Ms. Gina they showed us a lot of things about space and they showed us and told us about the Sun and the Earth also the comets and one of them are called a sungrazing-comets. Also they showed us this thing called a CME a CME is a Coronal Mass Ejection which means it is almost like a storm coming out of a Sun and comes out more when it comes back out. The Sun is almost like a big huge orange flying around in space, it has a lot of cool thigs that happen from it, if someone who tries to experience or tries to walk on it will be burned from it.The magnetic force from Sun will affect the Earth and the rest of solar system. The Sun has storms, hotter and cooler areas, and extending prominences. And thats what we learned about at NASA.

The Things I Learned About The Sun And The Comets

The things I learned about the Sun and the Comets are that the Sun is a very big ball of gas , a star and has a enormos temperture. The Sun has gravity just like the Earth. Sometimes CME's (cornal mass ejection) comes out of the Sun. In the middle of the enormos Sun is the hottest area on the Sun. It is called the Core. It is the innermost part of the Sun where energy is generated by nuclear reactions. The Sunspots is a temporary disturbed area in the solar photophere that appears dark because it is cooler than the surrounding areas. Comets are made of rocks and ice. If it to close to the Sun it will form a tail.When it get real close to the Sun it will be divided into small rock's.

WHAT I LEARNED AT GODDARD

My week at Goddard was great. I learned about alot of things like the Sun. The Sun is a big ball of gas. The sun has a storm on it called a C.M.E Coronal Mass Ejection. There is a satellite called SOHO. SOHO stand for Solar and Heliosphere Observatory. There is a instrument called LASCO that Dr. Doug works on .Some parts of the Sun are the core the innermost part of the Sun where enery is generated by nuclear reactions .Photosphere the visible surface of the Sun. Sunspot a temporary disturbed area in the solar photosphere that appears dark because it is cooler than the surrounding areas. Sunspots consist of concentrations of strong magntic flux.I learn that a Comet is made out of rock and ice. The closer a comet get to the Sun the longer the tail gets. Dr. Doug discovered 30 comets I think it took him alot of work to do this. There was a spacestation back in space in the 1970's. The Sun have a sort of atmosphere. The Sun also have a magnetic field. To get from the earth to the Sun is 1,500,000 miles. A halo makes a circle around the Sun. Cosmic rays comes from the Sun C.M.E. Space weather scientist is still trying to know how the weather is in space. I had a great time working with Mrs. Stokes and Mr. Doug.

Our Week at Goddard

THINGS LEARNED ABOUT THE SUN. I learned that the Sun surface is 700,000 km from the middle . I also learned that the Sun shoot off fireballs while we are sleeping . I also millions of miles from the earth and that it takes SOHO ONE year to get around the sun . I also learned how to graph the Sun.

I learned that the is made of gases and every time a comet get about 10 feet to the Sun melts the comet. I also learned that a comet is made of rock and ice.

Everything I learned About The Sun

I learned that the sun can burn you, and that it is 700,000 kilameters from the earth. I also learned that the sun goes around the earth to get a day. The sun also has a core in the middle of it that makes the sun shine bright. I also learned that the sun also has sunspots on it.

Every Thing I Know About the Sun

We learned about the comets going into the sun and not coming out. The sun is seven hundred thousand kilometers deep The sun to the earth is one hundred fifty million kilometers I learned what CME stands for cororal mass ejection We learned what sdac stands for solar data analysis center We learned what lasco is and where it is We learned what filament does We was meeting some interesting people We were doing some graphs about the sun to the comet Wewere learning parts of the sun

My week at Goddard

On March 15 my class and I took a visit to Goddard for a week and when we got to Goddard we met Dr. Doug and Ms. Stokes and they told us about the Sun and when the earth rotates. We also talked about the Coronal mass ejection (CME). We talked about comets. I found out that the sun was a big ball of gas and we talked about the SOHO telescope and the the Lasco telescope and I had a great time.

Sousa Middle School At Goddard

We learned why the sun is so hot and why the sunspots are the same too. And we learned about the Earth's movements and the sun's movements. We learned the meanings of different kinds of words like Filament, Photosphere, Lasco, CME, and more. CME stands for Cornal Mass Ejection. And we learned that in the pictures 1cm=2,500,000km. And we learned about Heinrich Kreutz that some comets are named after him .And that is what I did at Goddard.

Learning about things at Goddard

The things I learned at Goddard were extremely interesting! I learned about the sun, the CME(Coronal Mass Ejection), and the SOHO(Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. Dr. Biesecker and Ms. Stokes were great teachers. They're also great friends to have! I also learned about comets. They are made of ice and rock. I didn't think they were made of ice and rock. I used to think they were made of fire. So I learned from my mistake. Being at Goddard was truly fun!

SOUSA MIDDLE SCHOOL VISIT SUNBEAMS

On Tuesday we learned about CME which stands for Coronal Mass Ejection. It produces energy. We saw how the Sun act and how comets disappear. We learned how they send up a shuttle and how light and are seen by a telescope. On Thursday we had fun we took a tour and played on the internet. We also saw the Sun over night.

Things Sousa Middle Learned About The Sun

We learned that the Sun's powerful magnetic forces directly affect the Earth and the rest of the solar system. We saw Sun-grazing comets about to be buned up by the Sun's heat. The Sun has huge explosions on its surface that extend as far as two times the size of Earth. The Sun is very hot. When you look at the Sun it we will blind you. The Sun is bigger than the Earth and 150 million kilometers away. Scientists can now study the the inside of the Sun. We studied pictures of the Sun taken by the SOHO spacecraft. SOHO has a camera that can record everything about the Sun. We meet a man From IBM. Mr. Durden works for a company that sells and makes computers. IBM need to know about explosions on the Sun because the explosions can affect the computers.
