The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) Sunday Experiment

The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) Sunday Experiment

Elementary school students and their families are invited to the Sunday Experiment. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center Visitor Center in Greenbelt, Md. hosts the Sunday Experiment on the third Sunday of each month from September through May. It’s a free afternoon of eye-opening, hands-on activities exploring NASA’s incredible missions.

This free afternoon event for children of all ages and their families will focus on how NASA studies the sun and space weather with the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) satellite.

Participants will learn about solar storms and how they affect the Earth from an SDO scientist. Attendees can also participate in hands-on activities that explore the magnetic fields of the Sun, electromagnets, and ultraviolet light.
