	Johnson Poems
		Todd is quoted as saying that in one copy which Emily Dickinson sent her, the second line was written at the bottom of the page: "with a delusive, dissembling, dissolving, renewing wheel." Obviously whatever hesitation she had about a final choice came after the poem was finished.
		David Peck Todd, a graduate of Amherst College in 1875, returned to Amherst with his young bride in 1881 as director of the college observatory and soon became professor of Astronomy and Navigation.
		Todd began her labors of transcribing, and he continued intermittently as fresh batches of manuscripts were placed in his wife's hands by Lavinia Dickinson.

	Todd, David Peck (1855-1939)
		In 1907, Todd led the Lowell expedition to Chile to photograph the Martian canals.
		Although Todd revived his plan in 1920, around the time Marconi was discussing extraterrestrial signals, no balloon was ever launched.
		In August 1924, during an opposition of Mars, Todd persuaded the United States Army and Navy to use their receiving stations to listen in for any unusual signals.

		In the NGC Todd is listed eight times as discoverer: NGC 3134, 3217, 3279, 3436, 3685, 3849, 4202 (here "Tod" is a typo) and 4355.
		One object, credited to Todd by Dreyer, must be rejected: Todd 17 in Virgo, listed as NGC 4355 and found on Feb. 5, 1878 is actually equal to NGC 4418, discovered by William Herschel (III 493) on Jan 1, 1786.
		Todd 16 = NGC 4139 (d'Arrest) = IC 2898 (Bigourdan), and Todd 20 = NGC 3153 (WH).

	A door to Emily Dickinson's past - The Boston Globe
		The figure is Mabel Loomis Todd, a painter, piano teacher, and the mistress of Emily's brother, Austin Dickinson, a lawyer.
		Disgracing the family, he built a house for Mabel and her husband, David Peck Todd, an astronomy professor at Amherst College and one of Austin's friends.
		The 1886 Todd House, a BandB operated by Sanderson and her partner, Lisa Sanderson, is a short walk from the house Austin shared with his wife, Susan, and their three children.

		One of many, David Peck Todd, Professor of Astronomy at Amherst College, decided to listen with his receiver at a wavelength between 5 and 6 kilometers and record any signals he heard.
		After filtering out practical jokers Todd picked up a series of dots and dashes that were unexplained, but didn't appear to be of extraterrestrial origin.
		The development of the photographic film of the radio signals for the 29 hour period while Mars was close to Earth, deepens the mystery of the dots and dashes heard by widely separated powerful stations.

		Todd and her husband, David Peck Todd, a professor of astronomy at Amherst College, were given a house by Dickinson’s brother, Austin Dickinson, near the "Homestead," as the house where the poet spent most of her life was commonly known.
		Todd "painted blossoming branches in Japanese style across the walls and ceilings" of the house and decorated it with oriental paintings and furniture.
		The first edition of this poetry was published in 1890 with the help of Thomas Wentworth Higginson, who was a well-known author and one of the poet’s literary advisors in her own lifetime.

		The transit of Venus of 1882 was a remarkable event, the last transit in the 19th century and the last one to occur until our own time.
		Among those who undertook to study the transit was David Todd of Amherst College, who, when he was not included in the U.S. Naval Observatory’s expeditions, was hired by the Lick Observatory trust to observe the transit from their site-in-development, Mt. Hamilton.
		Todd went west for the transit just as his wife and Austin Dickinson, Emily’s brother, crossed a Rubicon in their love-affair.

	Boing Boing: Collaboration across 120 years yields "oldest" movie ever
		In 1882, astronomer David Peck Todd shot 147 consecutive plates of the transit of Venus across the sky.
		Spurred by a reference in one of Todd's letters in Lick's Mary Lea Shane Archives, Bill Sheehan and I found all 147 negatives, still in good condition, at the observatory.
		A similar thought may have occurred to Todd himself, for a number of his contemporaries were already making the first forays into chronophotography — the recording of sequential motion and the forerunner of cinematography.

		In any case, in modern times a precise value for the astronomical unit is known from space probe telemetry and from radar observations of solar system objects, and therefore the18th-century transit-timing experiments would only be repeated today as a "science project" rather than as serious astronomicalresearch.
		In 1882, astronomer David Peck Todd photographed the transit ofVenus from Lick Observatory, which was then being built.
		His 147glass negatives were carefully stored, then forgotten, until they were rediscovered in 2002 by Anthony Misch, who convertedthe negatives into a QuickTime movie.
