The extraordinary, multi-institutional PUNCH Outreach team has produced a new short video (less than five minutes) called "Rock of the Sun in Chaco Canyon." In keeping with the PUNCH Outreach Ancient & Modern Sun-watching theme, the video portrays NASA Sun-watching as a natural extension of humanity's age-old dedication to observing the rhythms and mysteries of the Sun.
The content of the video was developed and vetted by experienced Chaco interpreters, solar astronomers, science educators, and cross-cultural partners who are all part of the PUNCH Outreach team. The foundational photography and photogrammetry featured in the film were mindfully harvested (rather than taken or extracted) by the PUNCH Outreach team in a culturally respectful and appreciative manner over a period of 4 years.
