	Hubert Anson Newton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The study of the laws of meteors and of comets and their interrelation was his chief labor.
		He attempted to contribute to the theory advanced by Professor Olmsted of Yale in 1833 that meteors were a part of a mass of bodies moving round the sun in a fixed orbit.
		In 1861 he supervised the work of the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences in regard to the August and November meteors.

		It was also known to be true by 1859 that the forms of an aurora during a single ‘exhibition’ go through a specific sequence of changes, and that these phases occur at the same local times around the world.
		Denison Olmstead (1791–1859) at Yale University came to a simple conclusion about aurora: their causes had to be extraterrestrial.
		Olmstead was a contemporary of Elias Loomis who meticulously assembled the records from the 1859 aurora.

		In 1817 Denison Olmsted joined the University faculty as professor of chemistry, mineralogy and geology.
		Olmsted published his survey results in two historic reports to the General Assembly before leaving to take a professorship at his alma mater, Yale University, in 1825.
		Today the College of Arts and Sciences and the Schools of Business, Government, Journalism and Mass Communication, Law, Medicine and Public Health all include Environmental Units at Carolina, research teams and Environmental Faculty at Carolina that focus on environmental issues and problems.

	USGS C 1050 -- Geological Surveys Before the Civil War
		Olmsted's first report, published in 1824, provided the inspiration for establishment of geological surveys on another basis.
		Olmsted devoted several pages of his report to the gold mines of North Carolina and in 1825 published a paper on the gold deposits in Silliman's American Journal of Science and Arts.
		Gold-bearing rock in place was discovered in North Carolina that very year and later in Virginia, South Carolina, and Georgia as well.

		Those who did not attribute the display to supernatural causes were likely to blame the weather.
		Not until Yale mathematician Denison Olmsted discovered that the display had originated from outer space, did the great storm of 1833 start to be demythologized.
		Using geometry, Olmsted discovered that the flares had not initiated from a single point in the sky, but had moved in parallel lines.

		First of all, he noted the shower was of short duration, as it was not seen in Europe, nor west of Ohio [Author's note: We now know the shower was seen by numerous Native American tribes throughout the midwest and western United States, who frequently referred to the event as "the night the stars fell."].
		His personal observations had shown the meteors to radiate from a point in the constellation of Leo, the coordinates of which were given as RA=150 deg, DEC=+20 deg.
		Finally, noting that an abnormal display of meteors had also been observed in Europe and the Middle East during November 1832, Olmsted theorized that the meteors had originated from a cloud of particles in space.

		Some instruments, while being splendid examples of their own type, are also connected to illustrious moments in Yale’s scientific history.
		A Dolland achromatic refracting telescope (made in London in 1830) used by Professor Denison Olmsted and Elias Loomis in 1835 to first observe the reappearance of Halley’s comet in America.
		With this instrument Loomis made the first precise determination of the latitude of New Haven and determined the latitude and longitude of the Yale steeple.

		"… a tempest of falling stars broke over the earth… Observations like these, especially those of Denison Olmsted, gave birth to meteor science.
		The source of the Leonid meteors was soon determined to be the newly discovered Comet Tempel-Tuttle, which completes one orbit about the Sun every 33 years.
		The computer models also indicate a significant chance of a storm in 2001.

	[1.06] Using History to Teach Astronomy: The U.S. in the mid-19th Century
		Professors, lecturers and writers frequently used the history of astronomy as a vehicle in their efforts to educate students and the general public about the science.
		This paper will explore the use of history to teach astronomy, focusing on the efforts of Denison Olmsted (1791-1859), meteor shower observer, professor at Yale, author of numerous text books and popular expositions, and lecturer.
