Astronomy For Kids

Freeport, FL

The NWFAA is proud to support the E. O. Wilson Biophilia Center with a solar sky view at their Astronomy For Kids event.

The public is invited to join us as we set up telescopes with filters to allow safe viewing of our nearest star, the Sun.
White light as well as Hydrogen-alpha filters will allow the observer to view not only sun-spots (if there are any) but solar flares and prominences (if there are any).

We will also have examples of club members nighttime equipment and recent member astrophotos.

If the weather looks questionable please be sure to call the center at 850-835-1824 to see if the event has been cancelled.
