Observe the Safely through a filtered telescope
Become an astronomer and observe the Sun safely with a filtered telescope. Join us outside the Museum at the corner of 7th Street and Independence Avenue, near the silver Delta Solar sculpture, to view a variety of features on the Sun. Knowledgeable staff will be there to answer questions and guide observing.
No reservations are necessary to participate. This program generally takes place on Fridays and Saturdays, but will be cancelled in the case of inclement weather.
Accessibility: The programming area is accessible step-free via the public sidewalk and the Museum's terrace. Written and touchable explanatory materials are available for learners of all types.
Sponsored by the Thomas W. Haas Foundation, Otto Haas Charitable Trust, The Waterman Trust, and Wyncote Foundation.
