Mercer Public Library, Saturday 10 am - Noon,
*** Moved to Oct 7 ***
We set up a Hydrogen-alpha Solar Telescope to view the sun's chromosphere, in between clouds we viewed sunspots, prominences larger than planet Earth, flares, filaments and more! We discussed the upcoming annular eclipse on Oct 14, and the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024.
We use specially-filtered systems that are built to safely view the sun.
Never look at the sun with your eyes or with binoculars or a telescope. It can permanently damage your eyesight.
