Lecture #5: Experiencing the Sun featuring Dr. Sten Odenwald

Zoom: https://bit.ly/ExperiencingTheSun

HBY connection: The Sun is 93 million miles away, but we experience it daily. What we experience depends in part on the Sun’s activity.

Heliophysics concept.1.2 The Sun is active and can impact technology on Earth via space weather. (NGSS PS1, PS2, PS4, ESS2, ESS3) Some events happen very quickly; others occur very slowly, over a much longer time period than one can observe. (2-ESS1-1)
