Saturday "Sun-Day" Solar Viewing at The Science Zone

Dr. Andrew Young is an astrophysicist and Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Casper College who has spent decades teaching science and inspiring curiosity about the universe. Through engaging presentations and live solar observing programs, Dr. Young helps connect people of all ages with the science of our Sun, stars, and the wider universe. ??

Join us at The Science Zone for a unique opportunity to safely observe the Sun and learn about solar science! ??

For one Saturday each month in October, November, and December, local astronomer Dr. Andrew Young will set up a digital telescope in our astronomy area from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The telescope will be pointed at the Sun, and a live solar image will be displayed on an iPad, allowing guests to safely view fascinating solar features while participating in presentations and discussions about our nearest star.

If weather conditions prevent viewing, guests will still enjoy a live solar presentation using real-time imagery from NASA's solar observatories, along with an educational discussion with Dr. Young.
