the Manfred Planetarium
Jeanine Gelhaus7th and 8th grade science teacherAdjunct
FacultyTeacher ConsultantCurriculum WorkGoalsA. Increase
Knowledge/Content in the area of astronomy Brown Bag Lunch
Sessions:David Kaplan Neutron StarsDawn Erb- Dark Energy and
Accelerating UniverseDr. Creighton: discussions, planetarium shows
Personal research of websites, watching videos, reading articles,
etcB. Create a unit of inquiry-study dealing with astronomy
Project #1Consultation on current website & online
materials
Do the actual planetarium programs accurately reflect what is
marketed in on the planetarium website?
Project 1- Resource CompilationOutline standards and big ideas
for grade-levelsDo web searches for videos, images, activitiesEach
resource was checked by Dr. CreightonBias Precision -AccuracyNo
misconceptions perpetuated
One STOP Browsing!PRODUCT- Housed on Manfred Olson Planetarium
website (LIVE Links)

Satellite Imagery X-RAY Solar Images and the use False Color
Imagery When looking at how active the Sun is with respect to
radiation (energy), X-RAY imagery is used to show the active areas
of the Sun. The active area of the Sun in these images is shown in
a different color and is situated along the equatorial region.
Satellite Images: Visible Light Imagesof the SunThese are
Visible light or white-light images (gray) as we would see the Sun
if you were to walk outside and look at it. (CAUTION- NEVER look
directly at the Sun) These images show dark sunspots on the Suns
outer surface. Sunspots show cooler areas on the Suns outer
photosphere.
Can you MATCH the White Light image to the correct XRAY image?
Do they correlate in someway?
Answer: There is an actual physical connection between sunspots
and X-ray active regionsSunspots are locations where intense
magnetic fields pass through the photosphere. The bright active
regions in the corona are also regions of concentrated magnetic
field; the loop-like structures sometimes seen in active regions
actually trace out the direction of magnetic field lines. The fact
that an X-ray active region is found in the corona directly above a
photospheric sunspot suggests that the same magnetic field links
them both: the magnetic field threads through the sunspot up into
the corona, where it loops back down again to the photosphere

Creating Images from Sun SpotsComputers often record and
transfer information using a series of ones (1) and zeros (0). This
is called a "binary system.PixelsCreate images of sun spots from
the binary system
