sunspots_2000_09_24

What: Solar Observing
Where: Building 1 Main Cafeteria Patio
When: Tuesday, April 17, noon to 1:00 pm

Come view the Sun, our very own star, with the APL Astronomy Club. Count sunspots, see faculae and plages and maybe granulation and spicules, and compare the view through different kinds of equipment. Venus may also be visible in regular telescopes.

Open to anyone on campus who is interested.

If it’s too cloudy the event will be canceled.  (Note:  the previous 4 Sun Parties were canceled due to clouds.   Any one care to predict the weather at noon on April 16??)
