The Sun

Saturday, August 4, 2012

Cedar Amateur Astronomers Program - The Sun August 4, Saturday, 3:00-6:00p.m. at EIOLC          CAA Member Carl Bracken will explore the latest solar observing techniques and mission updates. The presentation will show up-to-date information about the various regular solar observing operations that take place every day—from ground based sites and orbiting satellites dedicated to solar observing—and how that information is used to relate back to everyday life on the surface 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. Sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, and properly filtered telescopes are required!  Advanced Registration: Not required/show up. Cost: Free.
