THE SOLAR ECLIPSE
Result of Observations Taken at Har-
ward College Station

Result of Observations Taken at Har-
ward College station
Observations taken of the late solar
eclipse state that it generally resembled
the corona of 1871, and the complex
was like that of 1857, which extended
some 700, 900 miles from the sun. There
were four streamers, two of which had
a length exceeding the suns radius, or
stretching out more than 435, 900 miles.
Several dark riffs were visible, extend
ing directly outward from the moons
limb to the utmost limit of the corona
Filaments were numerous about both
the solar poles. Compared with the
corona of January /, 1889, the corona
just observed was more brilliant. Dur
ing the total eclipse Sunday sew
eral flaming solar prominences attained
great .distinctness and brillancy.
Within the streamers no rapid move
ments were observed, but the impress
sion of those seen was rather one of
calm and tranquility. The streamers
were widely extended at the base, but
not very long. The moon appeared of
a most lnky darkness, with only
enough illumination at the edge of the
uiSh W iildhC It's lOJuhullJ CONSPICUOUS,
while from behind the orbit streamed
out on all sides the radiant filaments,
beams and sheets of pearly light which
formed an irregular "starlike decora-
tion," with the black lunar lobe in its
center. The spectroscopic observations
secured were very promising. AS the
eclipse progressed the temperature of
the air fell considerably below the nor
mai. The eclipse observation showed
conclusively that the sun is now far
from being quiescent, but is in a state
of great disturbance. There were very
distinct evidences of great spottedness
and the presence of faculR of bright
torchlike streaks. The color of the
corona was rather whitish than red,
and of pale or pearly white hue.
Upon review of all Sundays observa-
tions, it may be said that the corona
was combination of that of 1871 and
that of 1857, as drawn by Eliaz.
