Bring the entire family to watch billions of tonnes of superheated plasma explode off the “surface”. See arching prominences of magnetic chaos entrap the plasma before it crashes down in a rain of hydrogen gloop.
The Bath Astronomers will set up solar telescopes on the path through Sydney Gardens on Saturday, 27th May, from 10:30 am until 1:30 pm. Use https://w3w.co/jump.until.seated to find them. All are welcome, and there will be Sun posters for the new little Sun Scientists to take away.
