NASA Heliophysics Big Year - 2024
NASA's "Helio Big Year," running from October 2023 to December 2024, celebrates the Sun's influence by making heliophysics accessible to everyone and encouraging citizen science participation. People can witness solar eclipses, auroras, and follow the Parker Solar Probe's close encounters with the Sun.
In a similar spirit, our website focuses on advancing exoplanet education for underserved communities. We aim to provide engaging resources and opportunities for hands-on participation, ensuring that everyone has access to the fascinating world of exoplanet research. By fostering curiosity and discovery, we hope to empower individuals to learn about and contribute to this exciting field of science.
“Our whole solar system – every planet and even the space in between them – is connected to and influenced by the Sun. It’s a good metaphor for our increasingly-connected world, where we need to think about how changes in one area can have widespread impacts.”
