NOVA Lab’s Sun Lab gives citizen scientists the opportunity to learn about the Sun and the weather this churning mass of superhot plasma creates. Sun Lab explores what makes the Sun so volatile and gives citizen scientists access to the same data, images and tools that scientists use to predict solar storms.
Sun Lab includes nine brief videos that cover the basic science of the Sun and solar storms, and explain how the Lab uses a tool called the Helioviewer to bring users up-to-date images from some of NASA's best solar space telescopes.
