An eclipse comet was reportedly photographed in 1893
Dr. E. W. Cliver has discussed a report of an eclipse comet photographed in 1893. and considered whether it was, in fact, a
coronal mass ejection instead of actually being a comet. Roberta
Olson and I referred to the work in our book Fire in the Sky
(Cambridge University Press; see www.solarcorona.
com) about historic
and art-historic comets and meteors.

To read Cliver's article from the journal Solar Physics (1989), go to
adswww.harvard.edu and search for "cliver eclipse comet"; he also
discusses candidate comets/events during eclipses in 1860 and 1980.

I wonder whether Dr. Cliver can reconsider his earlier conclusions in
the light of Dr. Druckmüller's new eclipse-comet photo.

Homer's "Odyssey" May have wrote about an Ancient Eclipse
Homer's "Odyssey" May have wrote about an Ancient Eclipse

Homer's Odyssey tells the story of Odysseus, a Greek general, who travels on a 10-year journey back home after the fall of Troy. A new analysis of celestial events draws possible references in the Odyssey that Homer may have documented a total solar eclipse of April 16th, 1178 B.C.

Back in their July/August 1926 issue, Natural History magazine published an
article
"Personal Experiences at Eclipse Expeditions" by S.A. Mitchell, which
included
beautiful color reproductions of the three solar eclipse paintings rendered
by Howard Russell Butler:

Those of you who are fortunate to have a copy of Mitchell's classic work,
"Eclipses
of the Sun" will be quite familiar with some of these anecdotes.

Here also, is a short Natural History article about Howard Russell Butler:

Kikkoman eclipse

Looks like an eclipse with an inner corona


Question: is a total solar eclipse an "umami"- Japanese, a savory type food (soy and other foods)?
