OffOrbit.TV Premiers with Fascinating Look at Solar Imaging
In its premier edition, OffOrbit.TV invites viewers into the company of astronomers, space scientists, and other enthusiastic adventurers who push to explore in the distance, stretching beyond the familiar for new knowledge and new worlds.

Spend the evening in a professional observatory, watch planets forming, discover oceans around Jupiter, design the first real lunar village, snap photos through a gravity lens, use the Moon as a compass, tell time by the stars, hold the original books that revealed our universe, and link history to our future of space exploration.

The premiere episode of OffOrbit.TV features solar imaging specialist (and fellow Astromarter) Greg Piepol from Sungazer.net.

Most backyard astronomers wait for dark to observe, but Greg reveals that one of most spectacular objects in the sky is right in front of us every day. Observing the sun through telescopes requires care and knowledge, and when you bring the enthusiasm and skill Greg offers, unbelievable views of our very own star are the result.

Join this experienced solar imager on his backyard observing run and see what strange and beautiful images are there waiting for us in a bit of nature you may not have experienced.

It’s a big universe, so join OffOrbit.TV in this premier edition to explore in the distance as we go Off Orbit!
