PROGRAM IDEAS GUIDE
There are many ways to participate in Sun-Earth Day. This year, Sun-Earth Day is celebrated on Wednesday, March 20, 2010. However, you can also celebrate our connection to the Sun any time of the year, either as a special event or as part of your regular programs.

Hands-On Activities
Hands-On activities allow both children and adults to explore solar science in an active and engaging manner. For examples of activities related to eclipse and Sun-Earth connection, please visit the Make and Take Activities section of our website.

Sun Observations and Astronomy Activities with Amateur Astronomers or Solar System Ambassadors

Amateur astronomy clubs throughout the US and around the globe frequently host "star parties" to share both daytime and nighttime astronomy with the public. Inviting a local astronomer from your area is one way to enhance your education programs and to offer your audience a chance to view the sun through a solar telescope. Don't forget to visit the Amateur Astronomers section of our site for more info. 
The Solar System Ambassadors program, sponsored by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), is a public outreach program designed to work with motivated volunteers across the nation. These volunteers, many of them amateur astronomers and educators, communicate the excitement of space exploration to people in their local communities and are a good resource for your Sun-Earth Connection events. Visit Solar System Ambassadors for information and examples of past events in your area.

Special Event with a Local Scientist
Scientists studying the Sun and its impact on Earth can bring the excitement of their latest research to your education programs. Past museum programs have hosted talks and question-answer sessions with scientists as part of their Sun-Earth Day celebrations. If you would like to invite a scientist to participate in your events, please contact Carolyn Ng.

VERITASNSSDCA ID: VERITASDescriptionVERITAS (Venus Emissivity, Radio science, Insar, Topography, And Spectroscopy) is a Discovery class mission planned to orbit Venus and return data for four Venus rotations (roughly 2 1/2 Earth years). The scientific objectives are to study past and present water, current or recent volcanic activity, and the geologic evolution of Venus.

VERITAS is scheduled to launch and reach Venus no earlier than 2031, with data acquisition beginning about a year after launch and final circular science orbit achieved, using aerobraking, a year after that. The final orbit would have an altitude of less than 250 km.

The VERITAS science payload comprises two instruments, the Venus Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (VISAR) and the Venus Emissivity Mapper (VEM). It also has a gravity science experiment using a Ka-band uplink and downlink. Science return is expected to include a digital elevation model with 5 meter height resolution, synthetic aperture radar imaging at 30 meters horizontal resolution globally and 15 meter resolution over about 20% of the surface, and surface deformation measurements at 2 mm precision. It would also return surface coverage in multiple near infrared bands for water vapor measurements and global gravity field with 160 km resolution and 3 mgal accuracy.Alternate NamesVenus Emissivity, Radio science, Insar, Topography, And SpectroscopyFacts in BriefLaunch Date: Launch Vehicle: Launch Site: , United StatesFunding AgencyNational Aeronautics and Space Administration (United States)DisciplinePlanetary ScienceAdditional InformationLaunch/Orbital information for VERITASTelecommunications information for VERITASExperiments on VERITASData collections from VERITAS

NASA - Sun-Earth Day 2010
In the Venus Transit, students will learn about the importance of using scale models to represent the size and distance of objects in the solar system and beyond. They will be introduced to the astronomical unit (AU), the baseline distance from the Earth to the Sun, which astronomers use to determine the relative distances from the Earth to other planets, stars, asteroids, and objects in space. They will also discover fascinating facts about the Venus Transit, a celestial and historical event, which helped astronomers determine the scale of the solar system. By conducting inquiry-based and web activities, students will make connections between NASA research and the mathematics, science, and technology they learn in their classrooms.

Dancing in the Night Sky
In Dancing in the Night Sky, students will learn about the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. They will learn the many legends and myths that have revolved around the aurora throughout the history of mankind. Students will also discover how NASA scientists and engineers use satellite technology to measure and analyze aurora data. They will see how Norwegian scientists apply the concepts of data analysis and measurement to study the Northern Lights by using ground-based instruments and sounding rockets. By conducting hands-on and web activities, students will make connections between NASA research and the mathematics, science, and technology they learn in their classrooms.
