All day Eyes towards the skies
Ever been told to not look directly at the Sun? Well, that is some great advice! But here at USQ,
we have some specially designed Sun-safe telescopes with USQ’s professional astronomers,
making your childhood dream of viewing our Sun directly, a reality. At our Open Day, you will
be able to witness the Sun’s magnificent features and activity like never before, discovering
sunspots, solar flares and more. As the Sun goes down, we will turn our telescopes to the
planets, where Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn will all be making an appearance. Don’t miss out
on this stellar experience! Oval
