Cedar Amateur Astronomers Virtual Public Night
<p>Join Cedar Amateur Astronomers as we host accomplished amateur astronomer Mr. David Falkner for a virtual presentation at 7:30 PM on February 11, 2023. The title of Dave's presentation is "My Amazing and Unexpected Journey to Visit the Research Telescopes in Chile."</p><p>Dave was one of 10 people selected nationally to participate in ACEAP (Astronomy in Chile Educator Ambassadors Program). His talk is about his 11-day experience in December visiting and staying at three major US-owned observatories in Chile: Cerro Pachón (home of the Gemini South telescope), Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO), and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) radio telescope. While at these facilities, Dave and the other ACEAP Ambassadors received extensive training about the instruments, the science, data products, and communicating science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts. The program also introduced the ambassadors to the people and culture of Chile. Dave is excited to talk about this amazing experience.</p><p>After a successful 20-year career Dave retired from the US Navy and settled in Minnesota where he became an active member of the Minnesota Astronomical Society. He has served as its President and enjoys performing astronomical outreach often speaking to groups at libraries, nature centers and schools. He is a NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador and has authored the book “The Mythology of the Night Sky – Greek, Roman and Other Celestial Lore, Second Edition.”</p><p>Go to cedar-astronomers.org/events for more information. </p> 2023-01-12 20:30:00 -06002/11/237:30 p.m.Eastern Iowa Observatory and Learning CenterEly -

3rd Thursday at Hoover's Presents: Lincoln and Hoover-Comparisons and Contrasts
<p>Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum director Dr. Thomas Schwartz looks into the lives and similarities of these two great presidents.</p><p>In celebration of both Abraham Lincoln’s birthday and Presidents Day, this talk will examine the lives of Abraham Lincoln and Herbert Hoover highlighting the profound influence that the Sixteenth President had upon the thinking of the Thirty-First President. Both suffered loss in their childhood, were voracious readers, and self-made individuals. Lincoln articulated the political philosophy of Herbert Hoover with the “open field” and “fair chance” in life or more generally known as the “right to rise.”</p><p>This philosophy argued that government should not pose barriers for individual achievement. Every American should be allowed to reach the level of attainment that their individual talents and initiative might realize. Lincoln was also a firm believer in party building and the importance of party in achieving viable public policy. He also knew that harnessing public opinion was necessary for the success of any policy initiative. Hoover, having not been elected to public office other than the Presidency, was less adept at the importance of political organization in driving successful public policies. Hoover’s admiration of Lincoln was life-long and expressed itself in some unusual ways.</p><p><br><strong>About the Speaker:</strong> Dr. Thomas Schwartz is the director of the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum. Prior to coming to the Hoover Presidential Library, Schwartz was director of the Lincoln Library and will share his vast knowledge of both presidents.</p><p><strong>This program will be virtual via Zoom. Registration is required to get the zoom link.</strong> To register click <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/6516738980345/WN_HmxBw5-6Ro2C9x-6KpiNFw">here</a></p> 2023-01-18 19:00:00 -06002/16/236:00 p.m.Hiawatha Public LibraryHiawatha -
