SUMMARY:Not Since Tecumseh: Darkness at Midday over the Ohio Country
DESCRIPTION:The last time Ohio was witness to a total eclipse of the sun 
 was on June 16\, 1806. The 1806 eclipse has gone down in history as 
 Tecumseh’s Eclipse. Tecumseh was working to create a confederation of 
 Native tribes to resist continued losses of land to the increased expansion 
 of settlers in this formerly native territory. Future president and then 
 military leader in the newly formed State of Ohio\, William Henry 
 Harrison\, tried to stop him. In his efforts to discredit Tecumseh and his 
 brother The Prophet\, Harrison publicly challenged the Shawnee leadership 
 by calling upon them to prove this power daring them to “cause the Sun to 
 stand still or the Moon to alter its course\, the rivers to cease to flow 
 or the dead to rise from their graves.” Tecumseh used his knowledge of 
 the approaching eclipse to reinforce the role of The Prophet and himself in 
 the political dynamics unfolding in the newly formed region called the 
 State of Ohio.\n\nHear about the dynamics causing solar eclipses and some 
 of the history associated with this famous eclipse\, subsequent eclipse 
 expeditions\, and a few stories about war and peace associated with this 
 unique celestial phenomenon. O’Grady\, Astronomy Instructor at Ohio 
 University since 1984\,  has chased the Moon’s shadow eight times to 
 witness the appearance of distant stars and planets in the daytime\, to see 
 the outer atmosphere of the sun\, and to observe the altered behavior of 
 wild animals and livestock. This unique natural marvel\, which struck a 
 fear and awe in early people causing some of them to build enormous 
 earthworks with which to predict such events in the future\, will not occur 
 again in Ohio skies until September 14\, 2099.\n\nThis will be a hybrid 
 program.  The presenter may be virtual or in-person and participants may 
 attend in person or virtually with a provided link.\n\nMeeting Link:
