FAUTS ABOUT THE EOLIPYE
Solar Events of June 8h Is Felentifically ¥ x
pisined,
On June 8 there will be an eclipse of |
the sun. In the afternoon the moon |
will pass between the earth and the
gun, and will cast its shadow over the
greater part of North America, The
sun will appear partly eclipsed in ev-
ery portion of the United Btatee, but
only in a narrow zone, from Puget
Sound to northern Florida, will it be
The center of the moon's shadow
will be a black spot which will sweep
across the earth’s rurface from west to
east at a velocity of 35,000 miles per
hour, and as it passes over a given
place the sun will be completely hid-
den, the sky will be black and the
stars will become visible,
A tots] eclipse of the sun is the most
awe inspiring of all celestial phenom-
ena, About ten minn tes before dark-
ness begine the sunlight changes from
its usual brightners to a lurid copper
hue, the air grows cooler, and the birds
go to nest, The moon's shadow ap-
pears on the western hor zon like a
heavy thnder storm, advancing with
the #peed of a cannon ball, This thin
cresent of the sun bicomes DArrower
and narrower, and #3 it dissppesrs the
rosy flames about the suo flash into
view and the magnificent solar corona
Appears,
The corona is the most wonderful
and the most mysterious of all heaven-
ly ot jeete. It surrounds the sun above
the atmosphere proper, ofien lying in
steams and rays cof fantastic shapes,
It contains a green gas, coronjium, |
which is not found on earth, snd cap
only be seen at times cf total eclipse.
Coronium is thought to be relaied to |
hydrogen gse, but so light that it can- |
not stay on earth, Bome of the]
stresmers are like cathode raya and |
some like comets’ taille, and they may
bave a profound irfluence upon the |
weather and the magnetism of the |
earth, i
The path of the eclipse will pres over |
Denver. Astronomers from all over |
the world will journey to Colorado to
see if, i
The sun and moon appear to be al-|
most the same size in the sky. When |
an eclipse occurs at the time of the
moon's greatest distaces from the
earth, its disc is pot large enough to
cover the sur, and a ring or avnular
eclipse resulte,
In 1914 such an eclipse swept over
Europe. The margin of the sonoius |
wes 80 narrow that es it passed over!
the curve of | rance it actually became |
total for afew seconds. French school
government were stationed every few |
feet along the path of its totality and |
then questiored sa to whether they |
eaw red fl umes and the corona or only
the b.ight ring. By this means it]
was determined that the edge of the
moon's shadow ie as sharp as that of a
piece of paper.
