Our public viewing schedule for the fall of 2016 is still being worked out, but the first two viewings are scheduled as listed below. We’ll also do a few pop-up solar viewings on the UPEI campus as weather and time permits, so keep an eye on our Twitter feed if you’re typically around UPEI and would like to stop by one of those.

Saturday, September 17, 12:00pm to 2:00pm

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).

If the Sun’s behind clouds, we won’t be able to view it, so check this website or the Twitter feed nearer to the viewing date for the event status.

Saturday, October 8, 8:00PM to 9:30PM

It’s International Observe the Moon Night! We will join people all around the world to observe our Moon (and maybe a few planets that are in the sky too). Details of this event are still being working out, but we will have telescopes set up on the UPEI campus at a location to be determined.

We will also try to hold viewings in November and early December; more information will be posted when we have confirmed the dates.
