Sunspots, prominences, and flares…oh my! Stop by the Ruth and John Huss Observation Deck on your next trip to the Bell Museum and check out the Sun. We’ll have a variety of our solar telescopes out on our observation deck for safe solar viewing (weather permitting). With solar maximum expected in 2025 we’re already getting great views of activity on the Sun’s surface and in its atmosphere. So come on by and take a look at your closest star!
Explore the world of birds with Don Luce, Bell Museum Associate and retired Curator of Exhibits. In this guided tour of the Bell-produced temporary exhibition Seeing Birds, Don will highlight the Bell’s art collection, which includes works by John James Audubon and Francis Lee Jaques, as well as its history, in celebration of our 150th anniversary.
For two days only, get ready for one Moon, seven planets, and a dwarf planet! Summer is off to a great start as all seven planets join the Moon in the evening sky, along with everyone’s favorite dwarf planet Pluto. The Planetarium team will be setting up telescopes (weather permitting) outside to view this celestial lineup, so come by and take a look at our closest neighbors (seeing Pluto not guaranteed).
The Perseids are back! Viewing this annual meteor shower is going to be a challenge this year so be sure to join us as we explore our summer night sky and give tips on how to see shooting stars from your own backyard (light pollution permitting).
Tune in to our Facebook Live on June 27, 12–12:30 pm, to catch this event!
Don’t forget to bring your questions, as we’ll save time for Q & A.
Come out to Jim's Sports Club Bar & Grill this Friday at 7PM to hear some tunes from Sam Saccoman out on the patio! Have a drink, some great food and enjoy the music and the warm weather!
