Members of several local astronomical organizations will offer the opportunity to look at the sun like never before using special solar telescopes which safely allows sun gazers to view the sun through hydrogen Alpha, calcium, and white light. In addition, the first 100 families to visit will receive a pair of free solar glasses. This is also a great opportunity to learn more about the sun, our nearest star, while literally looking into its heart.

The event will take place on June 21, from noon-5:00 p.m. The Confluence Tower can be found on Route 3 several miles north of I-270 at 435 Confluence Tower Drive, Hartford, IL, 62048.
