SUN at NAM

We are delighted to be featuring SUN at this year's NAM. SUN is an art installation that shows the dynamic evolution of our own Sun. At 7m wide, SUN is an inflatable sphere that is suspended from above and is centrally illuminated with real data from our very own Sun. For more information, see their website.

Science festival

Solar Observing

After taking a look at SUN, why not head outside to have a look at the real thing? Join us out on the Piazza for an afternoon of solar observing! With the correct equipment, it is possible to safely get a close-up look of our own dynamic and changeable star, the Sun. Warwick AstroSoc will be on hand to show you the Sun through our specialised solar telescopes, and hopefully catch sight of sunspots, faculae, prominences and more.
