That Sun Is One SUPERSTAR!

This week we are focusing all our attention on the center of our Solar System: the Sun. Yesterday was the perihelion (the Earth's closest day to the Sun) and that pretty nifty solar eruption we saw in class!

Below is a copy of the PowerPoint we are taking notes on in class. You can also find some more thrilling information about stars in general HERE! Stars are the main topic of study this month, as we discuss types, life cycles, constellations, and other star systems in our universe.
