Since 1999 the Maryland Science Center (MSC), working in collaboration with scientists and education specialists from NASA's Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum and missions, has developed and implemented cutting edge science events, products, and activities for informal science education groups to use centered on the theme of the science of the Sun and how it affects the Earth and the other planets. Solar eclipse camp-ins, Teachers' Thursdays monthly seminars for educators, distance learning presentations for teachers, Davis Planetarium Show, Sun-Earth Days 2001 and 2002, Science Persons of the Month appearances, and the Space Weather exhibit are among the many activities coordinated by these groups. Future Sun-Earth activities in 2003 include: Live from the Aurora program in which 6th grade students interview solar scientists in Alaska, Teachers' Thursday for February 2003, Sun-Earth Day in March, 2003, and coordination of events and activities for informal science education groups to use leading up to the June 2004 transit of Venus. MSC's SpaceLink Update Center already hosts daily updates on Sun-related research and discoveries such as the latest results from the Voyager and Ulysses missions. The monthly Science Person series includes solar science staff. MSC's Observatory also hosts weekly Sungazing days, where museum and observatory visitors view the Sun through white light and hydrogen-alpha filters. Images of the Sun are sent via video link to both SpaceLink and the Davis Planetarium at MSC, and school visitors participate in graded programs that explore the Sun and tie into local and national science standards and curriculum needs.
