Transit of Venus

June 5, 12:00pm - 6:45pm
Mānoa Campus, Institute for Astronomy, Waikiki, Ford Island, Ko Olina,

The Institute for Astronomy will set up telescopes equipped with special solar filters for public viewing on Waikīkī Beach, at the Pacific Aviation Museum on Ford Island, and at Ko Olina near Lagoon 4 from noon until dusk. We will also distribute free “solar viewers” that will allow individuals to look at the sun safely.

Weather permitting, there will also be a small viewing station on the lawn of Institute for Astronomy, 2680 Woodlawn Drive in Mānoa. Never look directly at the sun without proper eye protection. Sunglasses do not provide enough protection.
