I was showing the sun and its features to my after school boys astronomy class.
The group are known as CroKidz. ! Matthew Collins aged 10 said he would like to try a sketch. It was only his second time to view the sun in a PST. This was his first try at drawing what he observed. Matthew put in a big effort, and achieved this lovely drawing which includes sunspots , plage and proms.
He agreed that drawing the sun is very difficult.
Well done !
