Abstract
THE SOLAR ECLIPSE.—Mr. F. W. Dyson, the Chief Assistant at the Greenwich Observatory, has sent the following letter to the press:—“Prof. Turner telegraphs from Bombay that the observations of the solar eclipse were very successful. The photographs taken by the Astronomer Royal, Prof. Turner, Captain Hills, Mr. Nevvall, and Dr. Copeland, have all been developed, and the results are excellent. Captain Hills has succeeded in photographing the spectrum of the reversing layer, and Prof. Turner has obtained marked results as to the amount of polarisation of the corona.”
