Solar Viewing: A Look at our Closest Star
Saturday, October 03
12:00pm - 1:30pm
Join the staff of the Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory in a guided solar viewing!
We will meet outside at the East Side Patio at Central Library. This event will take place outdoors, so make sure to bundle up if it's cold!
What we know about most stars in the universe comes from studying the one star we can see in detail, the Sun. Trained observatory staff will guide attendees through the process of safely looking at our closest star through specialized equipment. We will use two different types of filters that allow the viewer to see sunspots, solar prominences, filaments, surface texture, and possibly a solar flare!
