Lyot's coronagraph. The site is at Climax,
Colorado, IL 500 feet above the level of the
sea. There rainfalls in the Summer and snow
falls in the Winter frequently wash the air
and makes astronomical seeing nearly
perfect as anywhere in the world
DR.. Donald Mcneil, of Harvard. who built
the eerenagraph and who is in charge of its
installation and operation, has the keenest
interest in the new apparatus for he knows,
from personal experience, the heartaches, the
toll and expense that comes from sending
eclipse expeditions into the far corners of the
world to see the sun for brief instant as it
is blacked-out by the moon.
Back in 1886 DR. Menzel headed Harvard
expedition that took Is tons of astronomical
equipment some 1000 miles to far-off Ak
Bulak on the shores of the Caspian Sea- There
splendid eclipse pictures were obtained but
the chances of having bad weather were great
and might have spoiled the whole long, eXpen-
sive trip just as obscuring clouds spoiled the
most recent eclipse of the sun last Fall which
astronomers Travelled to South America in a
vain effort to see.
With the new coronagraph DR.. Mcneil in
a single day, will be able to put in more time
studying the suns corona than he could in a
whole lifetime If he waited for total eclpses
of the sun to happen naturally. In less than
a week of study he will be able to observe the
sun-as it would appear during total eclipse
for greater number of hours than all the
eclipse studies since the science of astronomy
began. for the maximum length of time
natural total eclipse can last is seven minutes
First task of the coronagraph will be to
explore the causes of great streamers which
lash out into space from the suns corona for
millions of miles, sometimes even sweeping
over the earth itself
Apparently" DR.. Mcneil says, 1.-THE earth
passed through the tail end of one of these
electrical streamers last Easter Sunday
Guided earthward by the magnetic field of an
enormous sunspOt group, the streamer flicked
the earth and bombarded us with electrical
particles called electrons Extraordinary
auroral effects occurred in the upper atmos-
phere of the earth and where the electrical
ton was most intense the radio waves McLe
defTected from their normal course. As the
electrical charges from the sun approached
the earth. they blew fuses at random in power

completely isolated various sections of the
world from comm.nioa ion"

graph cuts out the direct, glaring sunlight and
allows only the faint coronal light to fall
the observing eyepiece But because astron-
omers no longer count on mere visual observa-
ton, whole host of camera attachments are
an essential part of the coronagraph. One
type is a special moving picture camera, snap
ping only a single picture at intervals. When
run at normal speed on a screen the events
of hours and even days unfold before the eyes
with rapidity The effect is something like the
movies of growing plants which you may
have seen.
Special diffraction gratings, attached to
the cameras permit spectroscopic studies of
the various colors of light that make up
the corona. and so identify the various chemi-
cal elements that may be present in its faint,
mysterious glow. Spectroscopy is the science
which can analyze hght-no matter how dis
tant the source-into its colors, wave
lengths and then determine what chemical
elements hydrogen oxygen, carbon and so
on) produced those colors.
The element helium, the light gas which
is used to initiate airships, was first discovered
on the sun with a spectroscope Later it was
found also on the earth after scientists knew
what to look for. Perhaps with their new
apparatus the Harvard astronomers can find
out which of the known chemical elements

which is observed in the light of the suns
corona
While astronomers and chemists alike
agree that there is no room in their tables
for another chemical element, studies such as
those carried out with the coronagraph may
help bring final answer.
While Harvard Observatory is opening its
new coronagraph station at Climax, Colorado.
astronomers atop Mt. Locke at Mcdonald
Observatory in Texas are installing another
device which does the same kind of scientific
work. This device is the coronaviser, born of
a union of astronomy. optics and the electronic
science of televison

tory scientist DR.. A. M. Skeett, the corona

to cut, even more, the direct rays Of sunlight
which may have slipped by the rejecting
mirror Next the faint. remaining light is
scanned with a television camera and con-
verted into electrical impulses. BY putting
the impulses through a televison amplifer
astronomers can convert back the energy
at will-into televison image Of the corona
as it would look during a total eclipse
One important feature of DR.. Skelletts ap-
paratus is that while the image of the corona
is in the stage of electrical impulses the mod
ern electronic art do many tricks with it.
One major feat is to sort out. still more, the
brilliant superposed skylght, which is I'M
wanted. from the faint, desired light of the
corona.
This electrical filtering is possible because
the fairly. uniform direct light of the sky
produces. in the apparatus direct current. The
light Of the irregular corona, however, creates
a fuctuating current which may be separated
from the direct current by electrical filtering.
Three stages Of screening filtering thus
occur in the coronaviser one is the rejecting
mirror and the light trap Second is the
obscuring black disk and last is the filtering
electrical circuits.

demic studies that will go into the textbooks
and not be used perhaps for years but real,
practical things,
With their new tools-the coronagraph
and the coronavser- astronomers believe they
can predict the occurrence of the noW-nysteri-
GUS electrical storms" that produce black
outs which periodically wipe out worldwide
radio communications, hamper wire trans
mission on telephone and telegraph lines and
create great surges of power that blow fuses
in electrical power plants
Ahead, for their future goal is the posi-
bility that some day by daily studies of the
sun and its faint corona, scientists VIII be
able to make long range weather forecasts
Probably no one can do anything about
the weather but if it can be forecast accurately
a year or even a season ahead, everyone
could plan for 1t and so dodge many of the
hardships of the weather when it does arrive.
Scientists have long known how they ought
to go about the task of blocking out the
suns flaming shining disk so that they could
see the suns corona, the delicate and ghostly
glow which extends far out into space but
which is ordinarily obscured from view by di-
rect sunlight that is a million times brighter.
Scientists knew that somehow they had to
produce an artificial laboratory moon" that
would block out the direct sunlight.
They started by putting metal disks in
the end of their telescopes while they looked
at the sun. With the proper method they
found eventually-for it has been job that
has been carried since 1887 that they
could cut off most of the bright sunlight and
leave for observation, the flaming solar
prominence that flares up from the suns sur
face for hundreds of thousands of miles. And,
farther out in space. they found they could
observe the delicate, glowing light of the
suns corona
To the French astronomer Bernard Lyot
goes the credit for first perfecting such tele-
scope, which has been given the name of the
coronagraph.
Lyot, several years before the present
World War started installed his apparatus
atop the Pyrenees Mountains at Pic du Midi.
Fortunately the details Of his device and the
astounding pictures he was able to- photograph

THE Harvard coronagraph at Climax is no
giant instrument. 1t has only small lenses,

resembles, in its exterior, an anti-aircraft gun.
