Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Total Eclipse of the Sun: Observed at Mina Bronces, Chile, on April 16, 1893 The peculiarly favorable location of the track of the moon's shadow during the total eclipse of April 16, 1893, rendered it extremely desirable to occupy various points along this line as observing stations. The interval of time between the extreme positions which could be advantageously occupied being of several hours' duration, it might be possible to detect with certainty changes in the form of the corona during this interval. It was decided that if the Lick Observatory could secure the necessary funds to send out an expedition, some point in the interior of Chile should be selected for observing the eclipse, as the atmospheric conditions throughout the Desert of Atacama were known to be excellent. Mrs. Phebe Hearst, a friend of the Observatory, had provided in 1892 a fund which was to be used in aid of scientific undertakings at the Observatory. On the recommendation of the Director of the Observatory, and with her cordial sanction, the sum of $1,000 from the Hearst Fund was set aside for the expenses of the expedition in the field. The Regents of the University authorized the use of the necessary instruments. Preparations for the eclipse were commenced in the fall of 1892. I was particularly desirous of photographing certain phenomena on a very much larger scale than had ever before been done, for it seemed that only in this way could certain doubtful points be decided, and marked advantages be gained over the usual results. The finer details of the corona are necessarily lost in photographs taken on a small scale. Special attention was therefore first given to the designing of an instrument which should be capable of furnishing satisfactory results on a very large scale when used under the peculiar conditions presumably prevailing in the interior of Chile.

Book excerpt: Much of what is known about the universe came from the study of celestial shadows. This book looks in detail at the way eclipses and other celestial shadows have given us amazing insights into the nature of the objects in our solar system and how they are even helping us discover and analyze planets that orbit stars other than our Sun. A variety of eclipses, transits, and occultations of the mooons of Jupiter and Saturn, Pluto and its satellite Charon, asteroids and stars have helped astronomers to work out their dimensions, structures, and shapes - even the existence of atmospheres and structures of exoplanets. Long before Columbus set out to reach the Far East by sailing West, the curved shadow of the Earth on the Moon during a lunar eclipse revealed that we inhabit a round world, a globe. More recently, comparisons of the sunlit and Earthlit parts of the Moon have been used to determine changes in the Earth's brightness as a way of monitoring possible effects in cloud coverage which may be related to global warming. Shadows were used by the Greek mathematician Eratosthenes to work out the first estimate of the circumference of the Earth, by Galileo to measure the heights of the lunar mountains and by eighteenth century astronomers to determine the scale of the Solar System itself. Some of the rarest and most wonderful shadows of all are those cast onto Earth by the lovely "Evening Star" Venus as it goes between the Earth and the Sun. These majestic transits of Venus occur at most two in a century; after the 2012 transit, there is not a chance to observe this phenomenon until 2117, while the more common sweep of a total solar eclipse creates one of the most dramatic and awe-inspiring events of nature. Though it may have once been a source of consternation or dread, solar eclipses now lead thousands of amateur astronomers and "eclipse-chasers" to travel the globe in order to experience the dramatic view under "totality." These phenomena are among the most spectacular available to observers and are given their full due in Westfall and Sheehan's comprehensive study.
