Did you know that the Museum has a research-class public observatory? Visitors are introduced to the observation of solar features and the science supporting the current understanding of solar phenomena.
This Curator's Coffee will introduce you to the modern astronomical field of heliophysics and include Science On a Sphere and a tour of the Museum's Observatory which is equipped with a 16" LX200 Meade telescope, fitted with DayStar energy reduction and Hydrogen alpha 656nm solar filters, and a new 80mm Lunt SolarSystems telescope. There is much to see and learn about during this Solar Cycle #24 solar maximum.
