Solar Viewing
November 11, 2024 @ 10:45 am - 12:45 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 Libra at a maximum altitude of 42°. 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.]
NOAA Forecast (Good): precipitation potential 1%, sky cover 31%, relative humidity 86%, temperature 25C, wind N 11 km/hr
