Outreach Products
Products for engaging learners of all ages at eclipse and other sun-related events
NOT your ordinary pinhole projector for solar viewing and for the study of image formation. Find printing instructions & resources to REALLY understand how the round Sun can be imaged through "non-round" holes. (Spanish version available!)
See the beautiful 3-D formatting as you meet diverse members of the NASA PUNCH Team.
Play an online "drag & drop" word game to learn about the Sun and its effects on Earth.
View a short video that introduces an unusual, curlicue petroglyph (rock carving) located in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico at a Sun-watching site we call Rock of the Sun. The petroglyph might be humanity's first known representation of a solar storm in the corona.
Use a set of visuals and/or corresponding tactile-art representations to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the hypothesis that a mysterious ancient petroglyph in Chaco Canyon is an Ancestral Puebloan impression of the 1097 total solar eclipse with a storm in the solar corona.
Create and interact with two 3D printed models based on spiral and curlicue petroglyphs at the Rock of the Sun in Chaco Canyon.
Explore thermoform tactile-art representations of the Sun's corona, from an ancient petroglyph to NASA spacecraft images. Choose which of six images you are “seeing” with only your sense of touch.
These resources guide you to appreciate polarized light in our everyday environments, and show how both the NASA PUNCH Mission and the Citizen CATE 2024 Experiment ground-based telescopes are using polarized light to study the structure of the solar corona and the solar wind.
Web page that mirrors the PUNCH Science Objectives with more basic explanations.
Learn how the sunrise position changes throughout the year on an eastern horizon viewed from a Great Kiva in Chaco Canyon.
