Stephen Ramsden, left, an air traffic controller in Atlanta, talks about the sun and science Thursday, Sept. 20, 2012 with students at the Tyner Academy. Giving presentations to school groups around the region as the Charlie Bates Solar Astronomy Project, Ramsden bought much of the equipment himself, but he receives support funding from NATCA, the air traffic controller union.
