How You Explained the Sun
15:58 minutes
Science Friday’s Science Club has been on a month-long exploration of the sun: what it is, how we see it, and its effects on our lives. Gardeners, artists, teachers, heliophysicists, and even the Secretary of Energy have all weighed in on what the sun means to them. Science Club founding members Ariel Zych and Charles Bergquist, along with astronomer Dean Regas of the Cincinnati Observatory, recap some of the highlights from this season’s Science Club session, and bring the solar celebration to a close.
