IAU OAE Astronomy Teacher Training Workshop- Seeing the Sunspots for the very first time

Seeing sunspots for the first time can be a very exciting and rewarding experience, especially after learning about them in a workshop or classroom setting.

Sunspots are areas on the Sun's surface that appear darker than their surroundings due to a slightly cooler temperature. They are typically seen as dark spots with a slightly lighter surrounding area. Observing them through a telescope or specialized solar filter can provide a fascinating view of the Sun's activity and help us understand more about the solar cycle and other phenomena.

The participants enjoyed the workshop and were overjoyed to see the sunspots for themselves. Observing celestial objects and phenomena can be a wonderful way to appreciate and understand our place in the universe.
