The second day at the mountain. It was cloudy until after 3:00 P.M. However, by that time, several hundred visitors already learned, using our Scope On a Stick, how telescopes work, and they got a pretty good idea of the relative sizes of the Sun, Earth and the distance between them, by looking at the solar Pizza and hunting through a spotter scope for the little Earth 75 feet away. When the Sun came out the masses came by and loved to look of the Sun with the huge filaments, prominences and active regions, as well as the size and the number of Sun spots they saw. It was a great day to have about 750 visitors come by our station and learn about this. Thanks to Marie, Jim, Frank and Theo for attending what we first thought, based on the cloudy and rainy start, would be a slow event. Click the image to go to the gallery.
