About The Event
It's easy to take our sun for granted, but it's the source of all energy on earth. This week we'll look at topics such as:
- How does the sun shine?
- What are sunspots?
- What are solar flares and are they dangerous?
- Why is the Corona of the sun so much hotter than the surface of the sun?
- How can I safely look at the sun? - the use of solar telescopes
If the weather is clear, we will spend as much time as we can outside observing the sun during this session
