Free public solar viewing in San Jose, CA 12/19
Hello friends,
What: Free public solar viewing party Whe Coyote Creek Park near Hwy 101 & Hellyer Avenue in south San Jose. When: Sunday December 19, 12:00pm - 4:00pm Why: Because it's awesome! For those who have never seen the sun through a telescope it is an exciting and inspiring experience. You will be able to see the sun's photosphere and the hotter and more active chromosphere. You will see sunspots, filaments, prominences, flares, active areas and lots of surface detail in high resolution hydrogen-alpha. The sun is dynamic and alive! It is constantly moving, bubbling, boiling, and featuring large and small looping and arching structures consisting of billions of tons of hydrogen plasma that rise many times the diameter of the earth above the solar surface and can extend for tens of thousands of miles or more. No where else can you see so clearly the beauty and violence of a star. So come on out and be amazed and inspired with us. Come on out and bring a picnic lunch, take a walk, feed the ducks, watch the children play and enjoy the park. Join us and enjoy some hi-res h-alpha views of the sun, have a cold drink and some friendly conversation. Bring a scope and filter, a friend, or just a friendly handshake. The sun will be out, where will you be? Come on out and look up! Clear skies! See you there! Michael S. Swartz 510-377-0694 starpartyguy dot com |
