The Department of Physics is holding its final public sun viewing of the summer today from 12:30-2:00 pm. Join us on the grassy area between Memorial Hall and Robertson Library. There you can view one layer of the sun's atmosphere (the chromosphere) through our ground-based telescope before climbing to the observatory and viewing another layer (the photosphere) through a different telescope. You'll get to see sunspots and prominences and learn about our nearest star.

If the weather is too cloudy on Friday, we will have to cancel this event. Check our website after 9:30 am on Friday for the status of the event.
