Solar Telescope Viewing at Hunter Park   Our astronomy club volunteers will have specially filtered solar viewing telescopes set up so you can come see the active regions on our nearest star - THE SUN.  Our sun is undergoing an active period with frequent large sunspot regions.  Sunspot  are "cooler" regions of the suns surface associated with strong magnetic fields. When the sun is active a dozen or more regions may be visible on its surface.  A Recent Large Sunspot Region was 90,000 miles across !  Over 1/3 of the distance to the moon.

The entrance to Hunter Park is located off 91st Street between Yale and Sheridan. ( 5804 E 91st ST )
