About This Item
IDB Productions, 2017-01-01. MP3 CD. New. Is Mars alike to Earth where people can live? What is the reason why there are spaces without stars in the Milky Way? What makes the Aurora Borealis or the Northern Lights? These are a few of the out of the ordinary questions in Curiosities of the Sky. </br></br>Garrett found that he had a skill for detailing and defining science that made it available to the general public. Andrew Carnegie was amazed by the writing ability of the young reporter and suggested him to address a sequence of lectures on varied topics such as cosmology, geology, astronomy and other related subjects. Andrew sponsored an interstate lecture tour and provided Garrett with dreamlike lantern slides and items to complement his discourses and make them more outstanding. After the two-year lecture tour, Garrett was determined to commit his life to the idea of propagating science. </br></br>Garrett Putnam Serviss was a U. S. astronomer, popularizer of astronomy, and one of the first science fiction authors. He was born in upstate New York and majored in science at Cornell University. He studied law at Columbia University but did not practice as a lawyer. In its place, he associated himself with the staff of the The New York Sun newspaper, as a journalist under editor Charles Dana. </br></br>Garrett
