The Tulare Astronomical Association: Peña Planetarium Show & Outreach event on Friday, June 5th. We had another great turnout for this event! Due to the much warmer temperatures, it was decided to hold the outreach indoors.

The Tulare Astronomical Association: Peña Planetarium Show & Outreach event on Friday, April 24th. We had a great turnout for this one! Given that the Planetarium shows were conducted earlier in the day and with the extended daylight hours in the early evening, our primary focus once again was on solar observation, utilizing solar filters and specialized telescopes to view the sun and had great views of the moon.
