Area teachers may request a visit to the heliostat as a field trip to the astronomy department. The tour usually includes a look at the sun, the solar spectrum, a slide show about telescopes and the solar system and a look at the solar telescope and the night time telescope. Tours usually last 1 hour, but may run longer. Alternative demonstrations or presentations are available if weather prohibits solar viewing. For additional information or to make a reservation, please contact Lara Eakins at 471-1307 or through email.
Summer times are more flexible.
