This is your chance to get out of the house and into the sun!

Join NASA Solar System Ambassador Don Miler and retired NASA Astronomer Roger Kennedy who have all the right stuff to safely view the sun in all its glory. The sun has an eleven-year cycle and it is approaching its period of maximum activity.  You will be able to view the sun in white light, which involves a part of the sun called the photosphere and will show sunspots and the granularity of the sun beautifully. We will also view the special part of the emitted light called H-alpha which shows the chromosphere where the solar prominences and other features will be visible.  This is an event that depends on clear weather, so keep an eye on your email for updates. To be sure to call the main library number at 610.344.5600 or check the library website. We are rapidly approaching the April date for a total solar eclipse, so come see our closest star before the big day.

This event will take place in the front of the library building.

Registration is suggested. Registration will close 2 hours prior to the scheduled start time of the event. Walk-ins are welcome.

This program supports PA Forward®, an initiative of the Pennsylvania Library Association that highlights libraries’ role in moving Pennsylvania forward. Libraries are key to powering progress, elevating the quality of life by fueling the types of knowledge essential to its success.
