Observing the Sun At Panola Mountain State Park

14 January, 2012 (20:30) | Events, Outreach, Uncategorized | By: tramakers

Marie Lott, Frank Garner and Theo Ramakes went to Panola State Park again, this time to show visitors why NASA launched the Stereo Satellites to observe the sun. In fact the Sun did cooperate today and the 47 visitors were able to see the sun in white light and in H-alpha including a few very nice large prominences. We would like to thank Troop 270 from Cordele GA for coming out and take a first hand look at the Sun. There seem to be some real scientists in this group :-) Here the link to the pictures
Clear Skies,
