Did you know you can stargaze during the day? It’s true! But you can only see ONE star.

Using special equipment, we’ll look for sunspots, solar flares, and talk about our closest star!

*Weather Dependent*

Using special telescopes, we’ll be zooming in to look at the sun closely without blinding our eyes. Details like sunspots and solar flares will be visible, and we’ll talk about our current understanding of the sun, as well as some interesting theories!

• DO NOT look at the sun without proper protection. We’ll be using special filters and eclipse glasses to look directly at the sun safely.
• Meet us at the Fort. 
• This event will last about an hour. You can arrive and leave at any time during that period.
• No hiking required. 
• Event is weather dependent. If there are too many clouds, we will not be able to view the sun, and if there is rain the event will be cancelled.
• We will be exploring the power of the sun as our closest star in the galaxy, over some coffee/tea and conversation!
• Stop by anytime between 9am-10am, bring your favorite mug, and meet us at the fort!
