The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Join Paddy’s for a night of geeky fun and drinks at Tavern Talks — Dork Side of the Moon: How the Ancient Greeks Measured the Solar System W/Sarah Hagen.
Using eclipse events and the geometry of triangles, a group of ancient Greek dorks measured the size of and distance to both the moon and the sun with surprising accuracy. In this presentation, participants will learn how the Greeks made such astounding measurements despite living in a time period so primitive that pornography was accessed via pottery.
