Anna Ruby Falls Annual Solar Event 2012-03-31

31 March, 2012 (10:06) | Events, Outreach | By: tramakers

Annette and Pierre Michel, Marie and Tim Lott, Anthony and Lesley Edwards, Frank Garner and Theo Ramakers were the Charlie Elliott Chapter members who made it to the third annual solar observing event at Anna Ruby Falls.  Between 200 and 250 visitors passed through our roped off area at Anna Ruby Falls State Park.  And between the clouds they learned some facts about our sun, and why and how we to study the sun.  Finally and probably the most enjoyable part was taking a look at our sun through our solar scopes.  Marie also brought a projection cone on which they could see the sunspots. Everyone had a great time!  Click thumbnail for more photos.
