Description

The closest star to us is the SUN. It is about a mere 93 million miles away from us in the center of our solar system. Since life on the third rock depends on this fortunate distance, let's take a close look at our star. This presentation will cover some history of discovery, solar anatomy, and probable origin. Meet on the Visitor Center patio. RSVP is required for this lecture, and you must bring your ticket with you for check-in at 12:45 PM. Ticket reservations begin 14 days prior to the event. A suggested tax-deductible donation of $5.00 per person is appreciated and encouraged to support our volunteer programs. For more information contact the Visitor Center at 760-862-9984.
