International Sun Day

Today is International Sun Day and LDAS will be at Standalone Farm with special telescopes for looking at the sun (weather permitting). If you haven’t looked at the nearest star through a telescope (don’t do this at home or you risk causing eye damage) then come along and have a look. If the sky is blue we may be able to show you sunspots, flares and prominences. Of course, the Farm will be open and you can visit their attractions too.

There is no fee for coming to see LDAS though donations are gratefully accepted as a contribution to the running of the club and maintaining the observatory.
