Minocqua - Torpy Park
11 AM - 4 PM
Celebrate the beginning of summer with the
June 21 solstice at Torpy Park!
Safely observe the sun through a dedicated solar filtered telescope to view sunspots, prominences, and maybe a few flares. Learn about our nearest star and when to look for the Northern Lights. Make a bracelet that detects UV rays. Learn how to make a safe solar eclipse viewer, and easily measure the diameter of our nearest star. Inspect a 4.5-billion-year-old meteorite. Hear about the race to the moon! Family fun!
We will use a Hydrogen-alpha filtered telescope to safely
view the sun's chromosphere up close. Click here to learn more
