Solar Show
Event Introduction
During the solar observation, we will view our nearest star, the Sun, through a telescope equipped with safety filters. Sunspots, solar flares, and eruptions can be seen on the Sun’s surface.
You can join the viewing at any time while it is in progress. If there are many visitors to the tower, you may not be able to enter immediately and will have to wait in line outside for a while. On cloudy days, you can ask questions about space at the tower and look out at the sea through the telescopes. The event is canceled in case of rain.

The observatory is not wheelchair accessible. It is located at the top of a fairly steep hill. A paved road leads to the tower. There is no level ground in front of the tower. To reach the tower’s door, you must climb a few concrete steps without a handrail. A narrow, cast spiral staircase, dimly lit, leads to the tower’s observation dome. It is dim inside the tower.
