Energy from the Sun includes visible radiation in all its colors of the spectrum, and invisible radiation including infrared, ultraviolet, and other energy types. Many of the optical phenomena we observe in our sky are due to how the Sun's light interacts with our atmosphere but the light we see is only a part of the total energy received.
The groundbreaking Indigenous photography exhibition, Preserving Our Place: Knowledge is Power, features the importance of culture and lifeways and the consequences of the climate crisis. It celebrates the work of two Indigenous photographers: Chantel Comardelle, Tribal Executive Secretary of the Jean Charles Choctaw Nation, Louisiana and Dennis Davis, community artist of the Native Inupiat Village, Shishmaref, Alaska. Additional photography was taken by and/or is provided courtesy of Pete Mueller, Nathan Jessee, and Thomson Reuters.
The collaborative exhibition illustrates the devastating effects of climate change on their native, coastal homes.
Without the Sun, life on Earth would not be possible. The energy we receive from the Sun provides light and heat, drives our planet's winds and ocean currents, helps crops grow, and more.
