Pasachoff, Chair [email protected] (https://www.iau.org/science/scientific_bodies/working_groups/93/) I report on the educational and outreach aspects of the activities of the IAU Working Group on Solar Eclipses of Divisions C (Education, Outreach, and Heritage) and E (Sun and Heliosphere) over the last triennium and with plans for the next triennium. CHAIR Jay Pasachoff (USA Chair) MEMBERS Iraida Kim (Russia) Jagdev Singh (India) Vojtech Rusin (Slovakia) Yoichiro Hanaoka (Japan) Zhongquan Qu (China) Beatriz Garcia (Argentina) Patricio Rojo (Chile) Xavier Jubier (France) Fred Espenak (US) Jay Anderson (Canada) Glenn Schneider (US) Michael Gill (UK) Michael Zeiler (USA) Bill Kramer (USA); associates: Michael Kentrianakis (USA) Ralph Chou (Canada) THE TRIENNIAL REPORT (2019-2021) 1.

The triennium between the September 2018 General Assembly (Vienna, to which I went following viewing a partial solar eclipse from Sweden) and the September 2021 General Assembly (delayed from Busan, South Korea with business meetings remaining on the original schedule) had total solar eclipses in Chile/Argentina on 2 July 2019 and on 14 December 2020; and annular eclipses on 26 December 2019, 21 June 2020, and 10 June 2021. It also included a partial eclipse visible from China, Russian Siberia, Korea, and Japan on 6 January 2019. Our Working Group includes members from Russia, Japan, India, Slovakia, China, USA, UK, France, and Canada as well as newly Chile and Argentina, with additions proposed from Australia and Germany.

  • LPIB Issue No. 149 Now Available
    Cassini’s Swan Song L Paul Schenk, Lunar and Planetary Institute On September 15 of this year, the mission of the Cassini orbiter at Saturn will come to its official end. Early that morning, the spacecraft’s radio signal will cease as Cassini enters the giant ringed planet’s atmosphere, and the 2-metric-ton vehicle will undergo “molecular dissociation” (in other words, it will burn up). But that date will signify more than just the destruction of a spacecraft. For the hundreds of Pengineers, scientists, and officials who have worked for as much as a quarter of a century on this project, it will be the end of a personal journey to Saturn. The Cassini project officially began in 1990 with solicitations for researchers to participate in it, and many people have joined and left the project since then. The great discoveries of Pioneer and Voyager in 1979–1981 provided a glimpse of the marvels of Saturn, but it is doubtful that anyone working on Cassini prior to its arrival in July 2004 could have anticipated the revolution in our understanding of Saturn and its satellites that this mission has provided. Nor could they have guessed just how much the mission would affect them personally. As Cassini’s radio signal fades out for the last time, there probably won’t be Imany dry eyes in the house. With its fuel supply running low, Cassini began its “Grand Finale” on April 26 of this year, beginning the process that will end its 13-year-long tour of the Saturn system.

  • The Strangest, Scariest Eclipse Myths Throughout History
    Skip Lifestyle The strangest, scariest eclipse myths throughout history People figured nothing good came from eclipses, so they came up with very creative ways to end them.

(Illustration by Nathan Fox for The Washington Post) e know that Monday’s total solar eclipse will not be caused by a bear biting the sun, a dragon swallowing it or an X-rated W get-together between heavenly bodies. And yet, as our ancestors have for millennia, we are freaking the heck out. It’s a gentler, more festive kind of frenzy now — no panic, no human sacrifice, no flaming arrows. But the fact that we know more about cosmic mechanics nowadays doesn’t make us any less excited. “The hair on the back of your neck is up, you’ve got goosebumps. It’s just absolutely beautiful and at the same time a little terrifying because there’s nothing you can do about this. There’s no power on Earth that can stop this.” That’s how former NASA astrophysicist Fred Espenak, an authority on calculating the paths of eclipses, describes the visceral feeling of a total solar eclipse. If an astronomer in 2017 finds the experience overwhelming, imagine what a guy herding goats 3,000 years ago thought when the sun suddenly went dark in the middle of the day.

  • Astronomical Tests of General Relativity
    Astronomical Tests of General Relativity A thesis for the award of Doctor of Philosophy Keith John TRESCHMAN BSc, DipEd, BEdSt, BA, MEd, MSc 2015 i Abstract This thesis is an in depth investigation of the history of the acceptance of Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity by scientists and by the public through the media. It emphasises the key role that Australia played in that acceptance and in the verification of General Relativity. This contribution came from the 1922 total solar eclipse across the continent as well as the discovery in 2003 at Parkes Radio Telescope of the first, and to this date only, pair of pulsars in mutual orbit. This system provides a unique opportunity to plumb the theory in a much stronger gravitational field regime than previously. This historical scrutiny provides an insight into scientific revolutions in general. The examination of this particular development may then act as a template for the study of other scientific revolutions. One of the key findings is that the Theory of General Relativity was prematurely accepted. The main argument of the thesis is for 1928 being the year when sufficient evidence existed for scientists to begin accepting the theory based on gravitational deflection of light instead of the commonly accepted date of 1919. Emphasis is given to the explorations of the 1922 eclipse parties in Australia and the activities of the eight groups measuring light deflection at this eclipse. This work is gathered together here for the first time. The upshot is that it was 1928 before the results were published in full and a conclusion could be drawn.
