WKU Events

This group exhibition presents the work of seniors graduating from WKU Art & Design in Spring and Summer 2026.

Welcome all to an afternoon of solar observing!  We meet outside, from 12-2pm, near the Hardin Planetarium at the intersection of State St and College Heights Blvd.  We utilize a Sunspotter (to show mass groups the sun's sunspots and to teach geometric astronomy), 9.25" Celestron NexStar with a solar filter (to show fine details such as flares and prominences), and a Coronado PST (the included Hydrogen Alpha filter really helps display the flares).  Sometimes, we'll pass out solar viewing glasses.  And sometimes, we'll have videos inside the planetarium dome showcasing different wavelengths of the sun.

Meet with Global Learning Ambassadors to learn about global learning opportunities, ask questions, receive help on the process, and more!
