Chabot: Our Sun is More Active Than It's Been in Ten Years

According to astromoners, the sun is entering a very active period.

It’s  producing flares, sunspots and beautiful prominences, and according to Sky and Telescope magazine, “…this week it's putting on its best show in nearly a decade.”

Chabot Space & Science Center has solar telescopes and other devices for visitors to safely view the dynamic sun, including a large HD video monitor showing the latest images from NASA satellites studying the sun.

The center also has a solar astronomy expert who can weigh in on what is happening 93 million miles away.

See the center's website for hours of operation and details.
