Woodrow Wilson is ready for the Transit of Venus

Post by stets »

The L.C. Bates Museum, Maine's natural history museum, will be having a solar-Transit-of-Venus star party. Thank you, Stephen, for supporting this event.

Museum staff tried glasses on Monday, and they were able to see the large sunspot, AR 1476. One visitor to the museum joined us to look at the sun. She was very enthusiastic, but Woodrow Wilson was largely non-plussed.



Thank you again,
Stets

Idealists are not usually sufficiently pragmatist to succeed politically, i.e., keeping us out of WW1 or putting together the League of Nations.

I actually think that the museum staff should have chosen the bust of Theodore Roosevelt because of his interest in natural history. Perhaps, his head was too big?
