Due to a succession of cloudy Fridays, the Department of Physics has added an extra viewing of the sun with our telescopes for Friday, August 1, from 12:30-2:00 pm. Meet us on the grassy area between Memorial Hall and Robertson Library. There you can view one layer of the sun's atmosphere (the chromosphere) through our ground-based telescope before climbing to the observatory and viewing another layer (the photosphere) through a different telescope. You'll get to see sunspots and prominences and learn about our nearest star.

If the weather is cloudy on Friday, we will have to cancel this event, but we will be holding additional events throughout the remainder of the summer.

Check our after 10:00 am on Friday for the status of the event.
