Our group has been doing research on sun spots related to their history, hypotheses on their causes and impact over time, and how to study them as citizen scientists. We’ve been reading about them on the PBS Nova website and in scientific articles.
We planned on going to Van Cortland Park to see sun spots on our own on Saturday, November 9th but the sky was quite cloudy and we couldn’t see the sun, so we postponed our trip. We have decided to go to Bear Mountain this coming Sunday, November 24th to look for sun spots at a higher altitude, and to bond with nature. We will also be filming our trip and our experience for our documentary. Unfortunately the picture quality of our documentary will probably not be as good as we expected because Macaulay did not have a better camera available for us to use, which is disappointing but we’ll make the best of it!
