Tomorrow is World Astronomy Day and the Royal Astronomical Society is hosting a special event to mark the occasion.

Astronomers will be on site at the Johnson Geo Centre on Signal Hill from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. with special solar telescopes to view the Sun.

All telescopic viewing will be dependent on clear skies, but if the weather doesn’t co-operate, the event will move to Sunday.
