Sidewalk Science Center Founder and Executive Director Alex Martin will tell us all about this remarkable organization. From modest beginnings to current day extraordinary growth, you are likely to find Sidewalk Science Center out there somewhere just about every night doing science. They have also been a great and complementary partner to The Suncoast Stargazers.
This is our annual “Summer Doldrums Event”. We will observe the Sun in both H Alpha and White Light. We will also view a last quarter morning Moon. Finally, if skies permit, we will track down the planet Jupiter in the daytime skies.
Suncoast Stargazer member Chris Schementi will discuss spectra as applied to astronomy. He will discuss the chemical mechanisms of emission and absorption spectra, and how that relates to astronomical observing and imaging.
Come early and see the sun through our solar safety filters, including Hydrogen Alpha. 10299 9th Avenue Northwest Bradenton
