If you are as excited as my 5 year old to see the transit of venus there a few viewing locations around SLC. Looks like the viewing parties start at 4:00 p.m. and here is a list of a few places I found:
- Clark Planetarium will offer free viewing parties to the public. They will set up their telescopes equipped with the proper solar filters in the following locations:
- The Gateway by the Olympic Fountain in Salt Lake City at about 450 West & South Temple
- Dimple Dell Recreation Center in Sandy at 106th South & 10th East
- Brickyard Harmon's parking lot. Siegfried Jachmann of the Salt Lake Astronomical Society will have a rare 9″ Clark Refractor telescope equipped with a Hydrogren Alpha (translation, uber-cool) filter for solar viewing
- Weber State University in Ogden just north of the Lind Lecture Hall
- Northridge High School in Layton at 2430 North Hill Field Road
- Natural History Museum of Utah in SLC at 301 Wakara Way
- Novell Campus in Provo from 4-6 p.m. 1800 South Novell Place
I think this is really exciting espeically since it won't happen again until 2117. Let me know if you know anywhere else in Utah that are doing a party.
