To celebrate Earth Day, join us at Arverne East Nature Preserve for free solar observing with NYC's Amateur Astronomers Association (AAA)!

AAA will have telescopes set up with safe solar filters to view Sunspots, Flares and Prominences on our own star, the Sun. You will view in 'white' light and at a narrow wavelength emitted by excited Hydrogen, H-Alpha. Participants will have the opportunity to explore the 35-acre publicly accessible nature preserve and make an Earth Day inspired sun catcher.

This event is weather permitting and will be cancelled if cloudy or raining. Please check out our socials the morning of the event to find out if it has been cancelled.
