This weekend the Swansea Astronomical Society is helping with the Swansea Science Festival at the National Waterfront Museum. Pop down and say hello! They will have a variety of equipment to show the sun. If you have never seen the sun through a hydrogen alpha telescope it is well worth the trip. You might see a solar flare or two!
Please note that this has already taken place on 28/10/2023
