Solar Sundays at Martin Park Nature Center July-August

Events
1

Join Martin Park on Sunday afternoons 2pm - 4pm in July and August to learn more about the big, bright ball of burning gases that sits about 149.6 million miles away from us. That’s right, we’re talking about the Sun, or Sol, as we like to call our local star. We’ll have a solar telescope so you can safely look at the Sun’s features up-close, fun facts to learn about our hot neighbor, and Friends of Martin Park will have craft kits available for purchase to make your very own kaleidoscope, sun catcher, or sun print art!

We are looking for two Club volunteers to man the telescope and trade off over the 2 hour period. You can also bring your own solar equipment for the public to look through.

Martin Nature Park Center visitor please use this link to register for the events. Registration is free for these events.

I will be there. In fact I’m going to the park tomorrow to see the “lay of the land.”

Just returned from the park. For those who may not know where it is, it’s just west of Mercy Hospital near Memorial and Meridian and the entrance is on the one way eastbound portion of Memorial. Any telescope is welcome, white light or solar. Our setup location is directly off the back porch of the Nature Center which provides shade, a/c in the building and they will provide cold drinks for us.
