This month, we'll be reading an 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.
After the story, we'll show you how to create a homemade space shield!
ASL interpretation will be provided during this program.
