On Friday, October 7, the astrophysics research group set up telescopes near the sundial outside of Jordan Hall of Science and invited the public to view the sun. Observers could see not only sun spots, but also had a chance to view through a hydrogen filter that permits viewers to see the prominences and the granular motion on the Sun.
