Sun-Earth Day 2002 Goals:

-To Support an education and public outreach event on March 20, 2002, that will celebrate Sun-Earth Connections to the equinox and seasons.

-To share Sun-Earth Connection mission's research with formal and informal education communities.

-To draw parallels between Native American Cultures and NASA's Sun-Earth Connection research via cultural stories, interviews, web links, activities and Native American participation.

What is it?
Sun-Earth Day is a national celebration of the Sun, the space around the Earth (geospace), and how all of it affects life on our planet. In classrooms, museums, planetaria, and at NASA centers we plan to have a sensational time sharing stories, images, and activities related to the Sun-Earth connections and the views of the Sun from Earth.

When will it happen?

We will celebrate on March 20 in our classrooms, museums, malls, planetaria, and auditoriums around the world.
