Everyone grab your eclipse glasses and take a look at this enormous sunspot, which is bigger than the Earth and has been spitting out solar flares! ‼️PLEASE DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN WITHOUT ECLIPSE GLASSES‼️ But do find yours or get some -- you'll need them in April! 😎

@Zeno_C You should also come to our open house on the evening of the 21st! I bet some of the @denverastro folks will have more specific sites to recommend. denverastro.org/events/open-ho…

@Chamberlin_Obs Thanks!! Thats better advice than ive had so far

@Chamberlin_Obs im going to be in Denver the weekend of the 20th and 21st of this month. Do you have recommendations of where to watch the orinonids meteor shower?

What say you, observatory fans?

And don't forget about our open house event TONIGHT, starting at sunset! #denver #astronomy #stargazing denverastro.org/events/open-ho…

TONIGHT! Seen from #Denver, Antares will disappear behind the shadowed side of the #Moon at 8:01pm. Come back at 9:11pm to see it peek out from the bright side. No telescope needed!
