About the Event
Solar Viewing - Saturday 30 May confirmed ON
We are going ahead with public solar viewing at the Royal Observatory Greenwich on Saturday 30 May.
The session will take place in the Dolphin Sundial area, just inside the main entrance, with observing due to start from around 11am, once the telescopes are ready.
The forecast suggests there may be some high-altitude haze or cloud, so conditions may not be as clear as we would ideally like. However, we are hoping for some clearer spells during the session.
Temperatures are expected to be cooler than recent days, but it may still become quite warm by the afternoon. If you are planning to come along, please bring water, use sun protection, and take care while queuing.
Normal admission charges apply to enter the Royal Observatory.
