Bonus episode: Eclipses and the history of astronomy in Canada Eclipsing History

Early in our project we interviewed Randall Rosenfeld, archivist from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. You will notice that midway we had to switch to a phone line. The depth of Randall’s answers well overcome any loss in audio quality. Randall weaves the eclipse observation to the cultural and political history of Canada as a colony and then as an independent nation. Randall also discussed how settlers perceived indigenous views of astronomy.
