Analyses spectrales et observations des protubérances solaires
Le P. Secchi a publié, en 1868, dans les Actes de la Société italienne des Quarante, deux mémoires importants, accompagnés de planches, sur les spectres prismatiques des étoiles fixes. Divers observateurs se sont occupés aussi des lignes spectrales qu’on peut distinguer dans les aurores boréales. On doit citer encore les
Éclipse de Soleil de 1870
L’éclipse de soleil du 22 décembre 1870 a pu être observée en bonne partie à Greenwich, et la réduction des observations a prouvé que les erreurs des tables de la lune de Hansen étaient petites, et sensiblement les mêmes près de la conjonction que dans les autres parties de l’orbite
Mr. Lockyer on the Eclipse
Mr. Lockyer, the English astronomer, in speaking of the eclipse, says: Cloud in Sicily, cloud in Spain, cloud in Africa. Such, at first sight, might seem to be the only result of all the observations made on the eclipsed sun of 1870; such the reception given by Nature to those
The eclipse
The reader will find three pictures on page 156 illustrating the eclipse which excited so great interest in the scientific world and which has added so little to our previous knowledge of the phenomenon. The first cut represents the eclipse as seen from Xeres by the American expedition. The other
The eclipse at Gibraltar.
Men of science hoped at the Eclipse of 1870 to determine the nature of the corona, including beams and streamers; but the clearest possible sky was indispensable for the roper use of so delicate an instrument as the polariscope, and this condition was not accorded at Gibraltar even for

The eclipse expedition
THE ECLIPSE EXPEDITION ______ Which has cost us close upon £ 20,000, without reckoning the cost of getting the Pysche off the rock upon which the astronomers stranded her, has been a failure, or next to it. The reports which have come to hand so far are singularly disappointing, and

L’eclisse del 22 dicembre. — — Il fenomeno dell’eclisse fu benissimo osservato dagli astronomi che si recarono Terranova: il cielo colà era limpido, all’istante in cui l’eclisse fu totale, ma le nubi apparvero prima e dopo.

The eclipse expedition.
From the accounts received from the astronomers who went abroad to see the eclipse of Dec. 22 it appears that the different parties of observers were not very fortunate. From the Moorish Castle at Gibraltar nothing was seen of the eclipse when total. At Estepona Mr. Buckingham reports there was
The lesson of the eclipse
THE LESSONS OF THE ECLIPSE. we are now beginning to receive the reports, with a little more detail than the telegraph could give, of the various expeditions sent out, with assistance from the English Govenment, to observe the Eclipse of 1870. If we may trust the accounts which reach us
The late eclipse
The following extract from a letter of a gentleman residing in Malaga constitutes a small contribution to the history of the late eclipse:- “Malaga, Fonda de la Alameda, December 25, 1870. “All this time I am not saying a word about the eclipse which was quite the most awful and

He sat pondering on Eclipses
It was far into the night of the Shortest Day of the disturbed, disastrous, and dismal year, 1870. But Mr. Punch, the Philosopher, was not meditating on disturbance, disaster, or dismalness. He sat pondering on Eclipses, with the assistance of Mr. Norman Lockyer’s Elementary Lesson-book, and he had nearly persuaded
