"There's More to the Sun than You Might Think"-- Astronomy program with Randy Rhea--NO TICKETS AVAILABLE

Now is a period of high solar activity. It is the cause of the recent outburst of the Northern Lights, and it could happen again soon. In 1989, a solar flare knocked out the power grid in Quebec for nine hours. In this high-tech age, solar flares have the potential for much greater damage. Join renowned astronomer, Randy Rhea for a fascinating program on our sun--how it works, how it changes, and how it affects life on Earth.  This program will be held in the Learning Center at Pebble Hill Plantation and will include a lecture and outdoor segment with Rhea's high-powered telescope.
