The Sun
Today my lab group and I had to view the sun. Every since I heard we were going to do this I was excited! Pictures of the sun are always so surreal and beautiful. It didn’t disappoint. There were a good number of large solar storms and sunspots that we could see. Our professor is hilarious, he loves it so much. Although he was teaching at the time he kept walking out of his physics class to look through our telescope, haha.
First we used a Dobsonian with a solar filter, it looked mostly like this:
Then our teacher got out a special solar telescope, and it looked more like this:
There was a little less detail on the surface with what we were looking through, but it was awesome all the same. It’s such an incredible piece of the system.
