Specially fitted telescopes with Solar Filters will be able to show off Sun Spots and Solar Prominences. Solar Prominences are explosions on the Sun that can only be seen with special telescopes that are equipped with Hydrogen-Alpha solar filters. Sun Spots can be seen with "white light" solar filters that can be attached to just about any telescope. Both filters are totally safe for viewing the Sun. The Moon will also be in view with other telescopes that will be at the viewing sessions. For more information about The Astronomers of the Verde Valley, go to http://www.astroverde.org/
