April Solar Viewing: POSTPONED to April 30

UPDATE (Sat, Apr 23)

The current weather forecast is showing cloud coverage during the scheduled viewing period of 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 23. Although the sky looks nice and clear now, a look at the satellite data shows PEI to be currently under just a tiny gap in a large cloud mass, so not a good day for seeing the Sun later on.

We’ll try again next week – Saturday, April 30, 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Third time’s the charm?

We’ll be viewing the surface features of the Sun through an H-alpha filter using our solar telescope. You’ll find the telescope set up in UPEI Parking Lot A across from the Farmers’ Market (see campus map here).
