Solar Viewing

August 13, 2024 @ 12:15 pm - 2:15 pm

Weather permitting, viewing of the Sun’s image in three different manners (indirectly onto a white surface, directly with safely-filtered optical light and directly in hydrogen-alpha wavelength) will take place. During this time the Sun will be in the constellation Leo at a maximum altitude of 74°. Protective clothing and sunscreen are recommended.

This special session of solar viewing is programmed due to the predicted upcoming peak of Solar Cycle 25. [For ages six and older. No admission fee.]
