...weather here was perfect and the observations entirely satisfactory. We secured thirty-six plates with the intramercurial apparatus and thirty-four with thirteen other cameras aided by nineteen assistants. The plates will be developed in the Cambridge Observatory. Visually with five-inch telescope, the corona resembled that of the '89 eclipse. Two large solar protuberances were noted. Our polar filaments six seconds in diameter traced the corona about one degree. The shadow of the moon on the sky and shadow bands were well seen. Venus and Mercury were conspicuous. The inner corona was visible in the telescope some seconds after...
Prof. J. M. Shaeberies of Lick Observatory is on his way to South America where he will photograph the corona, during the eclipse of April...
...describe the motion of the moon with the reference to the earth and sun, and so came to the subject of eclipses. Eclipses of the sun, though generally partial, are sometimes total. In such cases the bright light which is visible around the sun is called the corona, and is supposed to be due to the reflection of light from floating particles in the sun's atmosphere. This, however, is only one of several theories about the matter. In a total eclipse, too, we notice certain red spots around the edge of the moon, and for a long time...
...appears, from the observations, that the type of corona repeats itself in a period about the same as that of the solar spots, the corona of 1889 strongly resembling those of 1868 and 1878. The most important observations made at the eclipses of the dates just mentioned were obtained by the United States naval observatory. Its photographs and those of the Harvard expedition in January show an appearance of the corona to the east of the sun, much like that of a wedge, its sides extending far out in wavy lines; on the other side of the sun the coroan...
