L’Eclipse, avril 1912

  The eclipse was April 12, 1917. It was an "annular" (not total) eclipse, but was close to total in Paris, and is sometimes called the "Titanic eclipse" because it happened just two days after the Titanic sank. Here's the NASA page about that eclipse: eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEsearch/SEsearchmap.php?Ecl=19120417 And a page focusing on the Netherlands: www.astronomeer.com/eclipses/index.html This article has a photograph of the eclipse itself: adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1912PA.....20..372H This is my favourite piece, though! It collects a lot of very interesting documentary material from the time: www.ukweatherworld.co.uk/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid... What bridge is this?

• CC.L. said:

  thanks for your informations about this eclipse
  
  (this is not a bridge, but Place de la Bastille)

• BigBean said:

  those old newspaper articles are very cool. Thanks for sharing them, Lu.

• Jessica Johnston said:

  I just looked up information on the eclipse to see if we need to change our cataloging data, and discovered that the GEH record is correct. The eclipse in the photograph took place on April 17, 1912 and the Titanic sank on April 15, 1912. Yes, very cool links!

  Place de la Bastille should make for awesome "now" finds -- if only there could be another eclipse!
