Garden After Hours: Summer Solstice
It’s the longest day of the year! Grab a friend, grab a date and celebrate with music, themed drinks and a talk on the Solstice by the Naperville Astronomical Association.
Rick Gering, the Public Outreach Director of the NAA, will give a talk called “Here Comes the Sun – and a Brand New Jewel in the Northern Crown” where he’ll…
- Explain how the Sun delivers light and warmth from 93 million miles away that our plants need to grow
- Show how we can view parts of this process using safely-filtered solar telescopes
- Talk about a recurrent nova that’s expected to erupt to naked-eye visibility between now and September in a constellation called The Northern Crown
He’ll bring a couple of solar scopes to safely view the sun, weather permitting.
The famous Cousins Maine Lobster truck will be onsite with their delicious lobster rolls, tacos, whoopee pies and quesadillas.
Adults 21+ only. Free to enter. No registration required.
