Visit Juniper Campground inside Mt. Diablo State Park to safely view the Venus Transit. Special filters will be used to reduce the blinding light from the Sun so we can safely view Venus as it moves in it's orbit directly between Earth and the Sun.


NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN, PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE CAN OCCUR.
