On Wednesday, 25.09.2024, a group of 14 students from grades 7 (Dwujęzyczna Szkoła Podstawowa nr 1), participating in the project: E-soleo, no. 2024-1-PL01-KA121-SCH-000197216, Erasmus+ program, visited the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. The aim of the visit was to observe the Sun using a professional telescope. The weather was great! Our guides were PAN PhD students from Chile, who talked with extraordinary passion about observing the Sun, telescopes and their research.

SUN OBSERVATIONS - OCTOBER 2024 - Warsaw, PoLand
Throughout October, students of the Bilingual Elementary School in Warsaw-Wesoła observed sunrises and sunsets. Additionally, on October 8 and 22, they measured the length of a shadow during a sunny day. Here are the results of their research.

The chart shows the progression of daylight hours in October 2024, highlighting the gradual shortening of days as sunrise occurs later and sunset happens earlier throughout the month.
The chart displays the changes in sunrise times throughout October 2024. It highlights a consistent delay in sunrise as the month progresses, reflecting the seasonal shortening of daylight hours.
The graph shows the change in shadow length over time, showing the change in the sun's position.
The graph shows the changes in the sun's elevation angle during the day, with the maximum angle reached at noon.

A slightly different form of solar observation in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany.
What does observing the sun have to do with mathematics and physics? Quite a lot, as we have discovered! The German pupils worked on the ray theorem.
