Solar Viewing

October 17 @ 11:45 am - 1:45 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 Virgo at a maximum altitude of 50°. Protective clothing and sunscreen are recommended.

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