The 365 Days Of Astronomy, The Daily Podcast Of The International Year Of Astronomy 2009

Today's guest:  Prof. Kenneth Rumstay, emeritus of Valdosta State Univeristy, talks with us today about the history of the Historical Astronomy Division. We'll learn not only about how it got started, but also about how HAD works for its members today.   H'ad astra historia is the official podcast for the Historical Astronomy Division of the American Astronomical Society. We're here to share stories from and about the people who study the stars, planets, and the cosmos. We'll be hearing from individuals who not only study the history of astronomy, but also those who lived it, who were "in the room" during pivotal events within the last 50 years or so.     Podcaster:  Loretta Cannon (an AAS affiliate via Rose City Astronomers) is a science-and-word-nerd who really likes outer space and the people who study it. She quite enjoys working as HAD's podcaster, bringing astronomy stories to you.   https://had.aas.org/   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and producti
