Event Summary

A presentation on Cycle 24 by Carl Bracken will explore the latest solar observing techniques and mission updates. The presentation will show up-todate information about the various regular solar observing operations. Everyday ground-based sites and orbiting satellites provide solar observations. We'll discuss how that information is used to relate back to everyday life on Earth and for ISS crews in orbit. We will also showcase modern user-friendly solar telescopes and safe observing practices. Weather permitting, direct solar observation will follow the presentation on the grounds of the EIOLC. Donations accepted.
