Default Solar observing event - Sheffield


Astronomers from the Sheffield Astronomical Society invite you to look
at the Sun this Saturday (16th) using their specialised Solar
observing equipment.
The astronomers warn that you should NEVER look directly at the Sun
without such special equipment and supervision.

Refreshments will be available and there will be plenty of free
information to take away. Astronomers will be on hand to answer any
burning questions you have on anything astronomical or space related.

Visitors can drop into the event anytime between 2 and 6 pm. It is
being held at the Mayfield Environmental Centre, David Lane in
Fulwood, Sheffield S10 4PH
This event is held in the open air with no indoor facilities so is
therefore heavily dependent on the weather.

For more information or to get a weather check on the day, please ring
the astronomy hotline on 0778 518 5240 or visit
www.sheffieldastro.org.uk

Membership of the Sheffield Astronomical Society gives you free
entrance to all events and is only £28 a year for adults and £6 for
under 18's.
