Partial Solar Eclipse Viewing

Join us at the Heide Observatory for a Partial Solar Eclipse Viewing Event, where guests will safely observe the Moon partially covering the Sun (Only 4%) using properly filtered solar telescopes, solar glasses and guided viewing stations. Observatory staff will explain how solar eclipses occur, what causes the Sun’s changing appearance during the event, and how astronomers study the Sun using specialized equipment. This daytime program is designed to be approachable for all ages and offers a rare opportunity to view a solar eclipse safely and confidently under expert supervision.

This event uses a donation-based ticket reservation system to help support observatory programming; each donation reserves one ticket per transaction through Eventbrite.

If you are attending as a group or family, please complete your donation and then email [email protected] with the total number of people in your group so we can plan appropriate staffing and volunteer support for the event.
