This imagery is from the Swedish 1-meter Solar Telescope (SST) at La Palma, Spain. The goal of the observations was to better understand the methods by which non-thermal energy is injected into the solar chromosphere by mechanisms such as emerging magnetic fields in sunspots. In this close-up of the solar photosphere, we see the dark regions of sunspots, and solar granules changing with time. These granules are the tops of convection cells where hot gas rises from the interior to cool and then d

🌍✨ Exploring the Wonders of the Solar System! 🚀🪐 The Grade 3 students of Discovery Secondary School recently presented their amazing project on the Solar System, guided by their dedicated science teacher, Punam Shah Shrestha. With enthusiasm and creativity, they showcased their models, explained the planets, their orbits, and the importance of the Sun. 🌞💫 This hands-on project not only made learning fun but also sparked curiosity and teamwork among our young learners. 🌟👏 #DiscoverySeconda
