Solar eclipse from Sandgate 1922 The 2012 eclipse is set to be celebrated with a huge festival of music and arts to be held north of Cairns near the Palmer River Roadhouse. In 1922 the interest was more scientific with teams of scientists from Sydney and Melbourne converging on Goondiwindi, a group from the British Astronomical Association (N.S.W. Branch) heading for Stanthorpe and a magnetic observer from the Carnegie Institution setting up in Coongoola, north of Cunnamulla. The other major center for scientific observations was at Wallal in Western Australia where a team from the Lick Observatory of California was at the center of an international effort. The chief concern of the astronomers at that time was to confirm predictions arising from Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. Einstein had predicted that light from the stars would be displaced by gravity as it passed close to the sun and a total eclipse was the only time that stars could be observed close to the sun before the advent of space travel. Observations during an eclipse in 1919 had agreed with Einstein’s predictions but further confirmation was needed as the expected displacement is a very small and microscopic measurement of the photographic plates is required to detect the difference.
