Super Sleuth: Jan/Feb 24

Hay Seed and City Slicker have been discovering more amazing facts about the sun. When they view the total eclipse on April 8, they will be able to see the glowing outermost part of the sun’s atmosphere called the corona. This is where the sun’s weather, called a solar wind, takes place.

When this powerful wind escapes the sun’s gravity, it spreads throughout the solar system. The wind cannot be felt on Earth, but when its charged particles collide with nitrogen and oxygen atoms in the Earth’s atmosphere, beautiful ﬂashes of greenish light appear to dance across the northern night sky. To learn more about these light ﬂashes, do the following:

• Find a drawing of the ﬂashes hidden in this magazine and give the page number.

• Do some research and give the name of these ﬂashes.

• Have you or someone in your family ever seen these ﬂashes?

The Latest Super Sleuth Contest

A one-size-fits-all athletic sock style was trendy in the 1970s and 1980s. These simple white socks reached mid-calf or higher, had two or three colored bands at the top and lacked a heel. Sports heroes of that time, like basketball stars Julius “Dr. J.” Irving and Wilt Chamberlain, wore these socks with shorts and popularized them with American youth. Today this sock style is still recognized for its comfort and is a common choice for school uniforms and sports teams. Hay Seed and City Slicker are not into socks but are curious to know more about this special style.
