Scientific paper

Sun Earth Day is an international day of celebration of the sun, the heliosphere, and its impact on the solar system. Each year, Sun Earth Day touches over 30,000 teachers, and over 10 million general public in over 40 countries around the world through engaging event driven themes, access to real time scientific data, classroom and museum activities, and cutting edge technologies. These events involve webcasts from remote locations, NASA TV programming, teacher professional development training programs, amateur astronomer observing certificates, museum programs, and many other events and activities. This year's Sun Earth Day theme is the 2012 Venus Transit, a last in a lifetime event that has captured the interest and imagination of astronomers and the public for almost four centuries. We will feature a live webcast from Mauna Kea, Hawaii and multi wavelength video observations of the transit from Hawaii and Alaska. This will produce a sufficient baseline needed to derive the distance between Earth and sun, the AU. Interested amateur astronomers will be able to send in their images of the transit as well.
