| Abstract: | Project SUN was initiated via a small grant from NASA's Mission to Planet Earth. It was designed to be an educational program that was driven by scientific requirements. The basic science aim is to produce long term, scientifically valid, time resolved, survey data of Earth surface solar radiation in both the visible and erythemal UV (see below) ranges. At the same time, this data is correlated with detailed local weather information. The student teams aim to produce data good enough to allow eventual peer reviewed publication. Educationally, Project SUN's goal was to allow students to learn science via on-the-job training; that is to learn science by doing real science. In addition to the survey effort, students are encouraged to use the data collected for their own research interests. Project SUN also sought to elevate the appreciation of scientific research in the minds of teachers and students. (5 Refs.) |

| Abstract: | The Sun rules all life on Earth. But the Sun-Earth system was not permanently organized as it is now; moreover, the Sun itself is evolving at several different time-scales. Not only does its magnetism follow an 11-year cycle, but also its luminosity and radius are changing in correlation with the magnetic cycle and perhaps, also in a secular way. A quick review is given of the main features of this variability. The changing Sun strongly influences the Earth, through both the geomagnetism and the many large-scale climatic variations. But, is the Sun mainly responsible for some catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate? Or is it man himself? On Earth, the deposits of some radioactive elements are proxies for the past variations of solar activity and solar radiation. These facts provide us not only new ways to study the Sun but also a probable answer to this question in such a way that we could 'render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar...'. (9 Refs.) |

| Abstract: | The motion of a cosmic 3 K radiation detector in a gravitational field is investigated in the context of general relativity. It is pointed out that solar gravity affects the measurements of the energy flux of radiation on an Earth detector and also that it causes a shift of about 0.6% on the maximum detected signal on an Earth device, in comparison to the prediction of special relativity.
