Journey Through the Heliosphere: The Habitable Zone

Two pages are extracted from the "Journey Through the Heliosphere: The Sun-Earth System in Color" booklet that explore the Habitable Zone and include a note relating the topic to indigenous Alaskan languages. The booklet blends art and science to make complex heliophysics concepts accessible.

It covers topics related to the Sun-Earth system, including the Sun, solar magnetic fields, and the solar wind; Earth topics such as auroras, eclipses, seasons, and Earth's climate; and broader subjects like the universe, habitable zones, the solar system, and the life cycle of stars.

A significant feature is the inclusion of Alaska Native languages, offering words related to the Sun and sky from cultures such as Alutiiq/Sugpiaq, Central Yupik/Cup'ik, Iñupiaq, Lower Koyukon Athabascan, Ten Kenaga'/Lower Tanana Athabascan, Ts'msyen/Sm'algyax, and Xaad kil/Haida.
