Join us on Eclipse Day for a special, live-stream view of the Sun from the Kirkwood Observatory Solar Telescope on the IU campus. Watch a close-up view on the Web as the Moon covers the Sun, and take a look at the solar corona during the eclipse.

Prevent Eye Damage, Do Not Look Directly at the Sun!!
First Saturday Solar Viewing – Join us on the first Saturday of each month at Kirkwood Observatory to get to know the Sun before the Big Day. The Kirkwood Solar Telescope will be open for viewing the Sun from 1-3 PM, weather permitting, including special views of sunspots, the solar chromosphere, and prominences. We’ll also hold mini-workshops to build simple eclipse projectors using cereal boxes and shoe boxes. Bring a box and take home your very own personalized eclipse projector.
The Solar Telescope’s special optics give a real-time view of the Solar chromosphere, including prominences and flares erupting from the Sun’s deeper layers.
