In this original story from the National Air and Space Museum, Meet Earth and Sun and learn how they interact. Earth gets so much from the Sun, like light and energy. But when the Sun is just too much, the magnetosphere works as a shield to help to protect Earth. Afterwards, Museum educator Ann Caspari helps you create a space shield.
In "Flights of Fancy Story Time Online," the National Air and Space Museum offers stories for young children and their families inspired by our collection of air and space objects and historic photos. Educators Ann Caspari and Diane Kidd will tell stories, do sketches, and demonstrate crafts that you can enjoy together at home.
