The Department of Physics is once again hosting public viewings of the sun using our solar telescopes. We invite you to join us on Friday, July 19, from 12:30-2:00 pm on the grassy area between Memorial Hall and Robertson Library. There you can view the sun's chromosphere through our ground-based telescope before climbing to the observatory and viewing the sun's photosphere through a different telescope. And if you don't know what a chromosphere or a photosphere is, we'll teach you!

If the weather is cloudy on Friday, we will have to cancel this event, but we will be holding additional events throughout the summer. Check our website mid-morning Friday for any weather updates, or for viewing dates later in the summer: https://projects.upei.ca/astronomy/2024/05/21/solar-viewings-summer-2024/
