SUMMARY:VT Astronomical Society
DESCRIPTION:Free and Open to the Public\n\nIn-person and via Zoom\nAsk for the Zoom link from paulwaav@together.net or theresamarie11@GMAIL.COM\nVAS Members will be emailed the Zoom link\n\nThe in-person will be at the Brownell Library on 2A near 5-Corners in Essex Junction. \nIf you attend via Zoom please get on-line before 7:30.  If you don’t have Zoom installed\, the application will automatically download and install when you click the meeting link.  This may take a couple minutes. \nPRESENTATION: \nA Gentle Introduction To Mirror Making \nBy Bob Horton \nIn this talk we will explore the tools\, techniques and tests that have evolved over the years to produce a telescope mirror (or lens) whose surface is thousands of times smoother and more accurate than the best machinist’s work\, all the while using simple and inexpensive devices and procedures that even a caveman can handle. 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.

SUMMARY:Must Read Mondays - Berry Pickers\, by Amanda Peters
DESCRIPTION:July 1962. Following in the tradition of Indigenous workers from Nova Scotia\, a Mi’kmaq family arrives in Maine to pick blueberries for the summer. Weeks later\, four-year-old Ruthie\, the family’s youngest child\, vanishes. She is last seen by her six-year-old brother\, Joe\, sitting on a favorite rock at the edge of a berry field. Joe will remain distraught by his sister’s disappearance for years to come. \nIn Maine\, a young girl named Norma grows up as the only child of an affluent family. Her father is emotionally distant\, her mother frustratingly overprotective. Norma is often troubled by recurring dreams and visions that seem more like memories than imagination. As she grows older\, Norma slowly comes to realize there is something her parents aren’t telling her. Unwilling to abandon her intuition\, she will spend decades trying to uncover this family secret.\n\nPlease fill out this form to get the GoToMeeting sign in information.\nhttps://forms.gle/UE9ZDT8ZD3a7UAQs8

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 Pangaea 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.
