Steve will share with you another facet of his interest in astronomy: Astronomy in 3-D! For over 150 years, 3-D photography has been a key part of astronomy, both from aesthetic and scientific viewpoints.  So, grab your 3-D glasses (provided by Skyscrapers) and we will gaze at the heavens through the third dimension.
 
Steve Nathan is an Associate Professor of Energy Geoscience and Chair of the Environmental Earth Science Department at Eastern Connecticut State University.  Outside of the day job, Steve shares his life-long interest in amateur astronomy by working as a planetarium lecturer for the Seymour Planetarium in Springfield, Massachusetts.  He also created and coordinated for 22 years the Astronomical League’s Lunar Observing Program. Steve has taught countless astronomy classes and workshops for many naturalist, school and science groups (e.g., the Appalachian Mountain Club, the Springfield Science Museum, the Tin Mountain Conservation Center).
