Learning about the Sun

On Wednesday we did a workshop in the Parc Tecnològic i Científic of the UdG.

We learnt lots of things:

-Galileo Galilei was the first man to use a telescope to look at the sky. He discovered Saturn and that the Sun has got sunspots. When he was old, he was blind because he had looked at the Sun without protection.
-The sunflares and the magnetic fields create the Aurora Borealis.
-Using the computers and looking at the sunspots in some videos, we learnt that the Sun needs aproximately 24 days to rotate.
-In the Planetarium, we learnt that at night we can see some planets in the sky, such as Venus and Saturn. We also saw the constellations and leant about their importance.
