About
Mom may have told you never to look at the Sun. For those who don’t want to take that advice, Lunt Solar is happy to oblige.
“What can I see?”…..
An ever changing and dynamic Star in real time.. Our Sun is our Star.
The violence of the upcoming Solar Maximum.
The cause and effect of the Sun’s activity right here on Earth.
You will learn to see the fine feather like details of the faintest prominence. The bright berth of a Solar Flare, it’s rapid growth of energy, and it’s departure from the Sun’s surface into space.
You will see catapillar/worm like strucures ( Filaments) snaking across the Sun’s surface, spirals of gas activity spewing and churning from active regions above Sunspots, and if your lucky, very very lucky, the violent eruption of an X class flare from the surface, an event which is highly energetic, fast evolving, and really does provide that full appreciation of just how close we really are.
This is what Lunt Solar is about… Putting research grade Solar Instruments into the hands of the avid hobbiest. What could be more spell binding than looking into that fiery hot ball of super heated gas at the center of our Solar System?
