Sungazing with the National Air and Space Museum

Become an astronomer and observe the Sun safely with a filtered telescope. Join us at the Eisenhower Memorial, located across Independence Avenue from the Museum entrance, to view a variety of features on the Sun. Knowledgeable staff will be there to answer questions and guide observing.

No reservations are necessary to participate. This program generally takes place on Fridays and Saturdays, but will be canceled in the case of inclement weather. For last-minute updates, call the Astronomy Education number at 202-633-2517.
