Solar Telescope and Observatory
Trevecca's solar telescope is capable of generating detailed images of solar activity. Combined with specialized light filters, a camera acquires a series of images from the telescope. Image processing software then combines these images to reduce distortions caused by Earth's atmosphere.
The observatory on top of the Greathouse Science building provides an ideal location for solar observation.
