Background
We can search for evidence of past, or even present, life forms within our own solar system, find
evidence of simple life on planets around other stars –- a planet where water could be present has
recently be found –- or even detect an intelligent signal from an alien civilization. The speaker was
a project scientist in the most sensitive search, Project Phoenix, ever undertaken. Sadly, no signals
were detected but a new 10 year search using two of the world’s largest radio telescopes is about
to begin and, during the next decade, a giant radio telescope, the Square Kilometer Array, will have
the sensitivity to detect alien signals from across the galaxy.

Virtual Night Sky Programs for "Imagine Your Story"NCIL - STAR_Net
Join STAR Net and the Lunar and Planetary Institute to hear stories about the constellations and night sky features in view this summer, and learn about ways that YOU can bring these “sky stories” to your patrons for the 2020 Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) summer reading theme, “Imagine Your Story.” We will demonstrate how to facilitate virtual programs about constellations and the night sky for your patrons using free, downloadable software (Stellarium) paired with interactive, low-material, at-home activities.
Bringing the Stories of the Skies to Your LibraryNCIL - STAR_Net
The 2020 Collaborative Summer Library Program, Imagine Your Story, provides plenty of opportunities to tie STEAM into your library’s summer programming, including any virtual or digital programs that your library may now be offering. The starry skies have plenty of fascinating stories to tell; all you need are resources and strategies for bringing them to life!
Join STAR Net, Christine Shupla (Lunar and Planetary Institute), and Elizabeth Nicolai (Anchorage Public Library) for this 1-hour webinar that will help you connect constellation legends and myths into your programs by learning about the stories – both fact and fiction! – of specific astronomical objects, constellations, and planetary bodies. We will also cover hands-on activities that your patrons can do at home and online platforms and digital resources that you can utilize to conduct virtual programs. This webinar will conclude with a group discussion (via chat) about how your library is pivoting for their summer STEAM programming.
Beg, Borrow, and Steal… Multi-generational STEAM Programming Ideas for Our Pl...NCIL - STAR_Net
This April, Citizen Science Month and the 50th anniversary of Earth day will coincide, leading to a world of opportunities for STEAM engagement at your library. By hosting Earth science programs that are age inclusive, you can help patrons see your library as a place for engaging family learning. Join the STAR Library Network and guest presenter Jenny Shonk (Finger Lakes Library System, NY) for this sixty minute webinar that will showcase hands-on, multi-generational programming ideas with an Earth science twist. In addition to going over tips, ideas, and resources, we’ll also turn to you – the audience – for a facilitated discussion so that we can all “beg, borrow, and steal” multi-generational programming ideas, resources, and expertise from each other!
April 22, 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day! The STAR Net team is celebrating this momentous occasion with the Our Planet: Earth campaign, focusing on citizen science and Earth science opportunities during the whole month of April. Join us to learn about free hands-on STEM activities, programming ideas, how to harness the power of teens in environmental advocacy, and ways your library can take action for a sustainable world!
Grappling with Unconscious Bias in the Library SettingNCIL - STAR_Net
The STAR Library Network is thrilled to welcome Ava Holliday and Aparna Rajagopal, Founding Partners of The Avarna Group (theavarnagroup.com), to help us kick-off the 2020 STAR Net Webinar Series with a special 90 minute webinar on a very important topic: unconscious (or implicit) bias. No matter how good our intentions may be, we are all susceptible to forming social stereotypes about certain groups of people outside of our own conscious awareness. The library setting is a place of equitable and inclusive lifelong learning, and by better understanding unconscious bias and the role it plays in our libraries, we can better serve our communities.
In this 90 minute webinar, guest presenters from The Avarna Group will introduce the framework of unconscious bias to describe some of the challenges that well-intentioned people who are doing good JEDI (justice, equity, diversity, inclusion) work face. This webinar will examine ways that bias manifests in two lenses: our individual thoughts and actions, and also within specific aspects of your library, including programming, the built environment, collections, and more. Webinar participants will walk away with a more clear understanding of how unconscious bias functions and how to identify and mitigate it.
It’s never too early to start thinking about next summer! When designing your programming for the 2020 theme, “Imagine Your Story,” remember to look up at the night sky for inspiration. Join the STAR Net team and Luke Kralik, Organizational Coordinator for CSLP, to learn all about this year’s theme and exciting, hands-on STEAM activities that will help you bring it to life at your library. We’ll discuss programming ideas, useful resources, and tips for engaging your community!
Ready, Set, Create! How Engineers and Libraries Can Collaborate to Make a Wo...NCIL - STAR_Net
From the sidewalks that we walk on to the buildings that we work in, engineering is all around us. Libraries are a wonderful place for patrons to learn about engineering due to their inclusive nature, inquisitive staff, and informal atmosphere. Join the STAR Library Network as we go over resources, hands-on activities, and lessons-learned from Project BUILD, a collaborative project between STAR Net, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and the University of Virginia (UVA).
Project BUILD engages youth, their families, librarians, and professional engineers in an informal learning environment with age-appropriate, technology-rich STEM learning experiences fundamental to the Engineering Design Process. We’ll hear from both librarians and engineers that were involved in the project, and learn how they were able to work together to show library patrons that engineering. We’ll discuss how we implemented this project on a nation-wide scale while simultaneously staying regionally relevant, and how library patrons learned that failure is OK – and encouraged! – when using the Engineering Design Process.
What do you think of when you hear the term, “Computational Thinking?” It’s more than just working with computers! Computational Thinking is a mindset and a way of approaching critical thinking that can be used to solve problems across every aspect of our lives. In this modern age, it is more and more important for all community members to develop these pivotal thinking skills – that’s where libraries come in!

5. A Note about Eclipse Glasses
• In response to reports of potentially unsafe eclipse viewers flooding the market,
American Astronomical Society recently (Aug. 1) updated their advice for safely
viewing the solar eclipse:
• It is no longer sufficient to look for the logo of the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) and a label indicating that the product meets the ISO
12312-2 international safety standard for filters for direct viewing of the Sun’s
bright face.
• The only way you can be sure your solar viewer is safe is to verify that it comes
from a reputable manufacturer or one of their authorized dealers.
• AAS Solar Eclipse Task Force has compiled a list of vendors at
eclipse.aas.org/resources/solar-filters (link in chat)

Watching it Safely
Dr. Doug Duncan – Univ. of Colorado
11. Plan for today:
Why is this event so rare?
What will it look like?
How to watch safely– how to help others.
If time – science at eclipses / chasing them
12. It has been nearly 40 years
since a TOTAL eclipse came
to the continental US… why
so rare?
The moon is 120
moon diameters
from Earth!
(this is to scale)
13. It has been nearly 40 years
since a TOTAL eclipse came
to the continental US… why
so rare?
It’s shadow must
hit the earth to
make an eclipse
22. Today’s important
message: Do NOT think
of this as a 95%
eclipse!
It is a 5% sun-visible
eclipse!
The sun is 400,000
times brighter than
the full moon.
5 % of the sun is
20,000 times brighter
than the full moon.
35. Totality Tips!
Record a “countdown”
- Start it when totality starts
Use a pair of binoculars for perhaps
half of totality.
Note the “circular sunrise,” Venus,
bright stars…
