Memorial Hall
The Department of Physics' final telescope viewing of the sun for the summer will be Friday, August 22 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 atop Memorial Hall 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. Check our after 10:00 am on Friday morning for the status of the event.
