Solar telescope viewings
The 91探花 Physics Department invites everyone to view the sun through our telescopes this summer. Meet us in the grassy area between Memorial Hall and Robertson Library where we will have our hydrogen-alpha telescope set up to let you view the sun's atmosphere. From there, we will direct you up to the Earl L. Wonnacott Observatory on the top of Memorial Hall where you can view sunspots on the sun's surface through a white-light filter on our large observatory telescope.
Viewings will be held 12:00-1:30 pm on the following dates:
- July 11
- July 25
- August 8
- August 22
If the sky is too cloudy, the viewing will have to be cancelled. Check our website for the most up-to-date status on any viewing:
Our ground-based telescope is accessible for people with all mobility levels. It is necessary to be able to climb stairs to reach our observatory telescope.
