Solar Viewing

Weather permitting, viewing of the Sun’s image in four different manners (indirectly onto a white surface, directly with safely-filtered optical light, directly in hydrogen-alpha wavelength and directly in calcium-K wavelength) will take place. During this time the Sun will be in the constellation Taurus at a maximum altitude of 74°. 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 (Poor): precipitation potential 30%, sky cover 43%, relative humidity 84%, temperature 29C, heat index 35C, wind S 9 km/h
