Cupertino’s Earth Day Was A Stellar Success Despite Some Cloud Layer
At the end of the day SJAA’s 5 scopes shared the power of the sun with 100’s of Earth Day patrons. We handed out a couple dozen info sheets and signed lots of Eco-Passports (Fill-in cards that get kids and adults to visit an learn). Enjoy the pics below.

Bill at Club’s scope. We had several prominences all in the 2-3 earth diameters range.
Terry at her H-Alpha. Lot of girls stopped by today.
Bill’s 10-inch Dob saw more sunspots than estimated by NOAA. Terrific faculae today.
