Reports on the Observations of the Total Eclipse of the Sun (Classic Reprint)

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed analysis of the solar corona, the faint halo of plasma surrounding the Sun, as observed during total solar eclipses. The author examines the corona's various forms and features, comparing observations from multiple eclipses to identify patterns and variations. Through a thorough analysis of photographic plates taken during the eclipses of January and December 1889, the author investigates the distribution of light in the corona, its total brightness, and the relationship between exposure time and the resulting darkening of the photographic plate. The book also explores the possibility of extending the outer corona beyond previously observed limits and discusses a mechanical theory proposed to explain the formation of the corona's polar rays. This comprehensive study provides valuable insights into the nature and behavior of the solar corona, contributing to our understanding of the Sun's dynamic activity.
