A total eclipse of the Sun is the most awesome sight in the
heavens. Totality takes you to eclipses of the past, present, and
future, and lets you see--and feel--why people travel to the ends
of the Earth to observe them.
An absolutely indispensable resource for anyone who plans to
observe an eclipse, and a must read for all astronomy buffs, this
superb new edition brims with the anecdotes, experiences, and
advice of many veteran eclipse observers. Indeed, it is the best
guide and reference book on solar eclipses ever written, packed
with information on how to observe them; how to photograph and
videotape them; why they occur; their history and mythology; how
eclipses revealed the workings of the Sun and made Einstein famous;
and when and where to see future eclipses. Totality once again
features the spectacular photography of Fred Espenak, who runs the
NASA Eclipse Home Page and is the best-known and respected of all
eclipse calculators and information sources. His many stunning
color photographs illuminate this unparalleled exploration of
eclipses. The volume has been updated to include current
information on upcoming eclipses, with new chapters on the total
eclipses due in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2017, plus all new chapters
on how to photograph, video record, and process your eclipse
images, with emphasis on the new generation of digital
cameras.
Strikingly illustrated with stunning photographs and more than a
hundred maps and diagrams, here is everything you need to know
about eclipses of the sun, in an accurate, clearly written, and
entertaining volume that can be read by lay people and astronomers
with ease and enjoyment.
