88: The LaLaurie Mansion Fire & the 1834 Zodiac Back

On today’s episode, Valerie covers the horrific story of serial killer Madame Delphine LaLaurie, and the appalling discoveries found within her New Orleans mansion following a kitchen fire. We also discuss the unspeakable treatment of enslaved people in general, and whether this famous story was actually out of the ordinary. Next, Amy Jo shares what the outer planets were up to in 1834 - Pluto in Aries, Neptune (not discovered yet) in Capricorn, and Uranus in Aquarius. She also presents the introduction of eclipse maps in the Nautical Almanac, the story of Herschel competitor and medal recipient, Scottish born “Messier of the Southern Skies” James Dunlop, and the upcoming Mercury retrograde in the 1834 Zodiac Back.
