1. ANCIENT OBSERVATORIES, TIMELESS KNOWLEDGE
------------------------------------------------------------
Join NASA’s Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum (
year as we explore the knowledge, worldviews and technology of
ancient -- and modern -- “Sun Watchers.” Our theme for 2005 focuses on
the fascinating human-made solar alignments created long ago to
mark the equinoxes, solstices and other celestial events. We will look
at the "ways of knowing" of yesterday and those of our satellites
nd
observatories today. We are
committee of Native American science and culture experts and
Sun-Earth Connection scientists.
As always, Mission scientists, educators, and Education and Public
participation, in terms of time, expertise, or products and materials!
In partnership with the Exploratorium, Ideum, and NASA Connect,
education (museums, etc) audiences nationally. This year’s programs
will feature dramatic footage from
Hovenweep (
(winter solstice) webcast at
http://www.exploratorium.edu/chaco/. The other live event will be
webcast on
Sun-Earth Day on
feature a rich variety of materials around this theme. Register and
receive a packet of information on Sun Watching across the ages.
Also, for more knowledge and great visuals on ancient
observatories, visit our new media viewer at
http://traditionsofthesun.org Note: This is similar in format to our
Sun-Earth Media Viewer, which won the prestigious Pirelli
International Award for best "Environmental Multimedia Project."
Our goal for 2005 is that all participants will benefit from these
key understandings:
* The Sun is a dynamic, magnetic star that impacts the Earth and
other planets in our solar system.
* Seeking to understand the mysteries of the Sun has been a primary
motivation for Sun watchers over time.
* Human beings use technology (past, present, and future) to
understand the Sun and the Universe beyond.
Light has always provided a means of investigating the Universe.
* Human beings from diverse cultures have viewed the Sun as the
source of life.

An integral element of the Office of Space Science (OSS)
education and public outreach strategy is the establishment of
a net
cation
and public outreach activities. This net
institutions include (1) four Education Forums that serve as
major centers for space science education and public outreach
in each of the four OSS Themes, and (2) a set of regional
Broker/Facilitators who, for example, help arrange collab-
orations between scientists and the education community.
The Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum (
