S U N F U N F A C T SRead the facts and co lo r the Sun
The Sun is the star closest to the Earth so it looks very bright and large, even though it is 93 million miles away.
Energy released by very hot gases in the Sun's center travels out into space and gives Earth its heat and light.
The Sun is the center of our Solar System. All of the planets in the Solar System travel around the Sun in paths called orbits.

Gemini is easy to find as it is high overhead in mid-winter, above and to the left of Orion. It's two brightest stars — Castor
and Pollux — represent the mythological twin brothers of Helen of Troy.
Pollux is the brighter of the twins. It's an orange-giant star that's about 35 light-years from Earth. Castor consists of six
stars. This crowded system lies about 50 light-years from Earth.

The crew included French, Saudi Arabian and American astronauts. Three communications satellites were deployed (MORELOS-A for Mexico,
ARABSAT-A for the Arab Satellite Communications Organization, and TELSTAR-3D for the USA). Communication satellites are used for many
purposes on Earth including TV, radio, telephone, and pagers.

NORTH
The zodiacal constellation Leo, the lion, is one of a handful of constellations that really does look like its namesake. Look for
Leo high in south sky in April and May.
Leo's brightest star is blue-white Regulus, one of the brightest stars in the night sky. Once Regulus climbs into the sky, look to its
left — toward the north — for a group of stars forming a back-ward question mark. These stars outline Leo's head and mane.
About two hours later, look low in the east sky for Leo's tail — a white star named Denebola — an Arabic name that means
"tail of the lion."

A The International Space Station is being used to study how the human body adapts and responds to long-term space flight.
These studies include how bones and muscles respond and how physical exercise can changes those responses.
Studies are also being performed on the effects of radiation from the Sun on the human body.
Since 1958, NASA has accomplished many great scientific and technological feats in air and space. Our exploration of space has taught us to view Earth, ourselves, and the universe in a new way.
NASA is a leading force in scientific research, sparking public interest in aerospace exploration, and developing new technologies.

DEEP SPACE NETWORKSpace antennas at th ree s i tes
C O M P U T E R W O R KComputers are very important too l s
fo r s tudy ing space.
This world map shows the three locations of the Deep Space Network's antennas. As Earth rotates on its axis, a spacecraft out in space will be able to "see" at least one set of antennas. Each of the three locations has several antennas for tracking
different spacecraft at the same time.
Computers are used to write programs that control spacecraft and their science instruments. They are used to help test instru-ments before they are launched and for communication. Com-puters are used to study space data and to produce the amaz-ing images that we see from space. They are also used to help
pass this information on to the world through the internet.

Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) was launched in 2010. It is helping us under-stand the source of the Sun's energy. It is providing the scientific understanding that will help us improve the quality of forecasts of solar activity.
