13Fri | 7:30 pm | August Meeting with Richard SandersonThe presentation will focus on two of the most colorful scientists in the history of Amherst College, Edward Hitchcock and David Todd. Both were instrumental in establishing a long tradition of observational astronomy at the college. Hitchcock’s interests ranged from the stars to the strange prehistoric footprints found in the rocks of the Connecticut River Valley. A generation later, David Todd was traveling around the world to witness total solar eclipses while building a large observatory on the campus of Amherst College. Soon after the observatory’s completion, he disassembled the massive 18-inch Clark Corporation refractor and brought it to a foreign land in an attempt to prove that life exists on Mars. This talk will offer a fascinating glimpse at the pursuit of astronomy during an earlier era. Location: Seagrave Observatory |
