ONLINE: “Explore the Sun with the McDonald Observatory on Wed. June 15, 2022 at 11:00 A.M. CDT.

You will learn about sunspots, prominences, solar flares, and some of the patterns that we observe with the Sun. June 21st marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere, so we will also be discussing solstices in detail.
