SUMMARY:Global Trade\, 17th Century Style - Lunch and Learn!
DESCRIPTION:Global Trade\, 17th Century Style\nWednesday\, November 13\n12:00 – 1:00 pm \nRegistration is appreciated. Please register here: Event Registration \nFree Event! \nJoin us for a Lunch and Learn Talk! Bring your lunch and learn something new! \nToday Americans depend on trade with China for many of the consumer goods that make our lives comfortable. The English Puritans who settled the Connecticut Valley in the 17th century also turned to global trade to make their lives as comfortable as they had been at home in England. The Connecticut River was the great water highway that connected the producers of these natural resources to the broad markets around the Atlantic Rim. \nBrenda Milkofsky leads our discussion on Global Trade\, 17th century style. Currently working as an Independent Museum Professional\, Milkofsky retired as Senior Curator from the Connecticut River Museum where she served as the Founding Director from 1979 to 1993. For nine years she served the Wethersfield Museum and Historical Society as Director. Brenda has worked on collection projects for the Wadsworth Athenaeum in Hartford\, CT\, for the Merchant Marine Museum\, at King’s Point\, for Essex Historical Society and other Connecticut institutions. \nRegistration is appreciated.

SUMMARY:Celestial Navigation with Roy Kilgard
DESCRIPTION:Celestial Navigation with Roy Kilgard\nTuesday\, November 5th\n6:00 pm – 7:30 pm\nFree Event\nPlease pre-register here: Event Registration \nJoin Roy E. Kilgard\, Wesleyan University Associate Professor of the Practice in Astronomy\, on a celestial navigation journey beginning in England in the 1600s up through the mid-20th century. \nKilgard integrates the development of navigational charts and navigational instruments through the years and the connection between astronomy and navigation. His topics include how to translate what you observe as you look out at the horizon with images printed on a navigational chart\, chart making\, plotting navigational positions\, as well as the specific tools needed for these tasks. Weather permitting; Kilgard will demonstrate historic navigational instruments alongside a modern telescope. \nProfessor Kilgard is an astrophysicist whose background is in high-energy astrophysics. Prior to his move to Wesleyan\, he spent almost a decade at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics\, where he worked on the Chandra X-ray Observatory–one of NASA’s Great Observatories\, and the X-ray counterpart to the Hubble Space Telescope. Professor Kilgard researches black holes in nearby galaxies with an emphasis on intermediate-mass black holes–objects with masses of hundreds to tens of thousands of times the mass of our Sun. The origins of these enigmatic objects are unclear\, having only been definitively detected in the last few years\, but they may provide an important clue to understanding the formation of the supermassive black holes that lie at the centers of most or all galaxies. His lectures cover a wide variety of astronomical topics\, including black holes and galaxies\, X-ray astronomy\, historical astronomy\, and astro-statistics. \nProfessor Kilgard grew up in south Georgia but has purged his southern accent through many years in Boston\, England\, and now Connecticut. His love for all things space was inspired and encouraged by his grandfather\, a veteran of the space program through the Gemini and Apollo eras. In addition to his work on black holes\, he has become an amateur historian\, working on both the restoration of Wesleyan’s historic Clark refracting telescope and a historical exhibition on the history of astronomy in central Connecticut. When not researching X-ray binaries\, he is an incurable nitpicker of sci-fi minutiae. This has infected his teaching\, leading him to design courses on the intersection of Science Fiction and Astronomy\, as well as his outreach\, with regular guest appearances at science fiction and fantasy conventions. \n  \n

Fish vary greatly in size\, shape and range. We will take a closer look at the anatomy of fish through fish dissection. Afterwards we will create Gyotaku (fish Printing)\, and squeeze in some autumn fishing. \nClick on the following link to register: \nhttps://shop.ctrivermuseum.org/collections/homeschool/products/homeschool-november-5-2019-fishing-4-registration
