"It contains 99.9 percent of all the matter
in our solar system and sheds hot plasma at nearly a million
miles an hour. The temperature at its core is a staggering 27
million degrees Fahrenheit. It convulses, it blazes, it sings!
You know it as the SUN."
Our next two meetings will showcase the Secrets of our
nearest star, the Sun. In March, the ACA welcomes the return of
eclipse-chasers, Jodi and Roy McCullough, Mahoning Valley
Astronomical Society, who will share their total solar eclipse
experiences, including Sumatra, Indonesia.
THIS IS THE YEAR OF THE GREAT AMERICAN
