Solar Dynamics Observatory

Come and look through a Hydrogen Alpha and a White Light telescope to safely view the Sun with Marc Stowbridge. The Hydrogen Alpha telescope will show surface eruptions and features of the Sun. The White Light telescope will show Sun Spots.  To preview what you may possible see, check out the link to view "The Sun Now - NADA SDO".  SDO stands for Solar Dynamics Observatory, which is in orbit around the Earth. 

In case for a "cloudy" day on the event, the next try will be TBD
