March

Saturday Science Sessions

March 10: Solar Astronomy
You know that you shouldn’t look at the sun, but here at the Science Center we have special telescopes that can! During this workshop you’ll be able to view the sun through our Hydrogen Alpha telescope and a solar filter equipped 10 inch telescope to see the sun like you never have before. You’ll also learn a little about the night sky and be able to build your own telescopes, not for use on the sun of course. Even if the weather is poor we will have other great activities. A $10 material fee for the telescopes is required.
