...year, in a standard work on eclipses, "coronium" was treated with respect. The Menzel-Boyce report unmasks it as mostly oxygen in bizarre atomic metamorphoses. The normal oxygen atom has eight orbital electrons. Menzel & Boyce proceeded to imagine oxygen atoms in such a state of excitation that electrons could skip freely from one orbit to another. Such excited atoms, according to quantum theory, should have energy levels differing from each other by precise amounts. Drs. Menzel & Boyce expressed a number of these energy levels mathematically. Then (by extrapolation of the 43-year-old Rydberg method) they mathematically expressed the light...
