There are a lot of web-sites about the Sun and the Solar
System on Internet. But most of them are for professional
astronomers who have devoted their lives to gathering data and
helping science to make a step ahead. Some are the result of the
work of amateurs who put the sites as a section of their home page,
along with the other hobbies of theirs. Such sites are usually
visited by very few people. Accidentally, a web-site with
educational objectives may be found. But even then the information
provided is onsufficient andd not carefully selected. Our site
appears just in time to fill this hole in the World Wide Web. Built
from students for students, it is a useful tool for teachers and
educators around the globe. As language may be a difficulty, we
have tried to give access to the site to more people through
providing the information in 3 languages- English, German and
Bulgarian. The web-site explains in simple words the structure and
origin of the Sun and the Solar system, the place of the Sun in the
Universe and the connection between the Sun and the Earth. There is
also an explicit information on Solar Eclipses with special focus
on last year's Total Solar Eclipse. Furthermore, the site follows
the believes of ancient people about the Sun. There are a lot of
tables, schemes and photos to help the reader acquire the
information. Quizes check to what extend the visitor is familiar
with the content of the web-site.
