About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1901 Excerpt: ...visually on the solar corona. The following is Mr. Wesley's own description of the visual structure of the corona: --"At the instant of disappearance I commenced observing, and perceived at the first glance a corona of symmetrical shape, with broad, well marked polar rifts, extending a considerable distance to the N. and to the S. These rifts were filled with delicate rays, which I could follow to the edge of the disc. They were straight and in a direction nearly radial in the central portion of the rifts; then towards the extremities of the rifts they diverged more and more from the straight form and from the radial direction. They recalled in a striking manner the rays seen in many former eclipses, particularly that of 188!'. The equatorial regions were, in general, of a uniform density all along the limb, and here I could not certainly find any trace of rifts reaching right up to the lunar disc. I looked especially for traces of arched or interlaced forms near the limb, but I could see none; I could only suspect some arched rays around the large prominence in the S.E. The details seen in the lower equatorial regions consisted entirely of ill-defined masses, not more than one-fourth the lunar diameter in altitude. These masses faded off in a manner nearly imperceptible, and presented no definite contour.... I cannot believe that the non-appearance of arched or interlaced structure to which I principally directed my attention was due to bad definition, since the polar rays were defined with extreme clearness." Mr. Wesley's observation emphasises two points: --(1) The solar corona varies in complexity throughout the progress of the sun-spot cycle, being richest in detail when spots are most abundant; and (2) As much detail can be seen in a photograp...
