Lecture - June 30th 

The Stonyhurst College expedition to the total solar eclipse of 1914  

Mr Graham McLoughlin, Preston AS

Abstract

The total solar eclipse of 1914 August 21 had the misfortune of taking place at the beginning of World War I. Its central line crossed an area of eastern Europe that had been thrown into conflict only weeks earlier when Germany declared war against Russia on August 1....  This lecture promises to be a fascinating insight into the struggle of scientists to gather information against the background of a world war was erupting.
