Learn about features of the photosphere and chromosphere; the solar cycle and how the sun affects us here on Earth. Learn how we use light to discover the world of the atom. Appropriate for ages 8 (Grade 4) and above. This FREE multigenerational program is presented by Timmy Telescope Solar Astronomy Outreach, the New Mexico Chapter of Charlie Bates Solar Astronomy Project. Visitors will look through Hydrogen-alpha and white filtered telescopes to see the various feature of the sun. Another telescope will be linked to a monitor/computer so that visitors can view the Ultraviolet emissions of the sun. The solar spectrum will be viewed through a spectroscope. Educational materials describing the sun and the electromagnetic spectrum will be displayed on several tables for visitors. Every visitor will receive solar glasses to safely look at the sun after they leave.
