sunrisesunset10-18Dear Trackers,

You can learn a lot by simply keeping track of things. The universe is full of patterns for humans to discover. The best way to discover these patterns is to pay attention to one thing (like where and when the sun rises and sets) and see how it changes over time.

Big ideas grow out of small pieces of data and observation. From tracking the sun and the stars, scholars could imagine a solar system in which the Earth revolved around the Sun. By watching the moon, scholars could know a lot about it long before we ever stepped foot on it.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
