Dyer Observatory (Grades 3-6)

See the Sun, Moon, planets and stars firsthand during visits to the Dyer Observatory.

On this field trip, we'll be observing the Sun through solar glasses as well as our hydrogen-alpha solar telescope to see the solar chromosphere, sunspots, prominences, and filaments.  Students will also be shown a live view of the Sun beforehand and the Sun’s observable features will be discussed. We can use the Seyfert Telescope to view Venus if it is far enough from the Sun to be viewed safely.

This field trip has very limited space (only 40 people total) so be sure to snag your spot! Sign up by March 17.

*Dyer observatory does NOT allow babies, toddlers, or younger siblings to join. This field trip is only for students grades 3-6.
