Description

Learn about the Sun and practice safe solar observing! Join the David Dunlap Observatory Astronomers for an interactive session where participants will see live and pre-recorded telescope views of the solar surface, learn about our nearest star, and practice safe solar observing by making their own pinhole projector. Please bring an empty cereal box for the craft. This program runs rain or shine and may include solar observing time outdoors (weather permitting), so please wear appropriate attire. All individuals/family members attending this program must be registered and a registered adult must accompany any registered participants under the age of 16.
