Tormentas Solares - Solar Storms Poster |
The Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum (SECEF) works with scientists and education specialists to promote the study of the Sun, aurora, and space weather. The Transit of Venus, a rare celestial event that will occur in 2004, will be the focus of Sun-Earth events in the next few months.
The Sun-Earth Connection and the National Society of Hispanic Physicists are working together to spread the word among Hispanic communities and students in North America. Sun-Earth will be providing educational materials in Spanish to members of the Society as they visit schools, museums, and community-based organizations to inform people about Sun-Earth events.
The Spanish educational materials are available to educators from:
