4.5 billion years old, our Sun is the largest and most powerful object in our solar system. Without the Sun’s energy, life as we know it could not exist on our home planet. Its power and ability to control everything we know as true is governed by its daily activity. Join our Interstellar Dreams one-week space camp to observe, analyze, and head-off serious impact eruptions, charged particles, and influences on Solar System visitors. You will build websites, take 3D walks in space, learn to code to solve mission critical challenges, and host a Solar Observatory Press Conference.
