Skyway Moaters writes: Just thought I’d drop you a line to let you know about a “Tolkien Event” that took place this past Monday evening at The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility here in the Hampton Roads area of Southern Virginia. The lecture was entitled: “Moon Runes, The Light of Earendil, and Durin’s Crown: The Astronomy of Middle-Earth”, and was delivered by one Kristine M. Larsen, Ph.D., Professor of Astronomy and Physics at Central Connecticut State University. The event took place in a large lecture hall at the Jefferson Labs facility described above, and the good professor (a true Tolkien Geek BTW) was playing to a packed house. [More]
