Measuring the Sun

Hey Guys!

Today was nice and sunny, so we decided to go out on the deck and measure the sun.  You might be wondering why we would need to do this.  Well, there are other scientists on the cruise who are doing incubations for their experiments, and these incubations are in tanks on the deck of the ship.

But for these measurements they need to know how much sunlight is shining on their incubations, so that's what we were measuring for them!  The scans take about thirty minutes each, so Jade and Leanne decided to get some exercise while we waited.

Until next time,

Meg
