Wednesday February 12th, 7:30 pm, at Kaleideum North the Forsyth Astronomical Society will have its regularly scheduled monthly meeting. Club member Bruce Mellin will be giving the presentation entitled:
Imperfect Time – A History of Mismatched Units of Time
Measuring the passage of time has become more complicated as civilizations required greater precision from timekeeping methods. None of the units added over time were exactly divisible into each other, requiring further adjustments. With 2020 being a leap year and leap day falling this month, join us in exploring the history of our mismatched units of recording the passage of time.
Following the presentation portion, we will have a brief business/planning meeting and as always, there will be an informal social gathering 30 minutes or so before the meeting. Come early for the best choice of doughnuts. All meetings are open to the public, free of charge and all are welcome. Hope to see you there.
