Media also will have the opportunity to tour NASA's C twenty A. A our tourist blazes overhead tonight, an orange giant star about twenty five times larger than our sun. It's the bottom point of the kite shaped Boots constellation. Quick solar update. The sun is quite active with numerous sunspot groups visible.
