Sun-Earth Day is comprised of a series of programs and events that occur throughout the year, culminating with a celebration on, or near, the Spring Equinox. This year’s celebration is on March 20, 2007, and includes a live webcast with NASA experts.
Over the past six years, the NASA’s Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum has sponsored and coordinated education and public outreach events to highlight NASA’s Sun-Earth Connection research and discoveries. This effort involves using celestial events, such as total solar eclipses and the Transit of Venus, as well as Sun-Earth Day during the March Equinox, to engage K-12 schools and the public in space science activities, demonstrations and interactions with space scientists.
