SUMMARY:Breakout Box: The Earth's Break Up
DESCRIPTION:Stop by the youth desk to pick up our newest Breakout Box and unravel the clues by yourself or with friends. This time: Congratulations! You have been invited to a FREE movie night to learn about Pangea and how the Earth’s plates split! But\, wait. There’s a catch. When you get there\, you find out that you’re actually traveling back in time and have to use survival skills and your knowledge of the location of the plates in order to survive and return to current time. You only have 40 minutes to use your knowledge and the clues provided to return to the current time or you will be stuck in the time of the dinosaurs…forever.

We will start with a short history of the art of mirror making and the role our own state of Vermont played in that timeline. This is followed by a description of the ten basic steps a mirror maker will take to transform a raw disk of glass into an optically perfect mirror that will reside the heart of their telescope. For each step\, we will describe the procedure to get to the desired result and a set of simple tests that prove that you have completed that task. In the end\, you will know how thousands of folks have crafted their own telescopes using the most basic tools to produce research quality optics. \nFollowing the main presentation\, our recurring monthly presentations will include Constellation of the Month  by Terri Zittritsch.
