ECLIPSE OF THE SUN. I
We copy the annexed interesting
account of eclipses from the Picayune,
of the 8th. It embraces, as the
reader will find, a description of the
grand eclipse of the sun, which is
"due" in our latitude this morn
ing: Have your "smoked glasses
all ready : "
Eclipses of the sun have in all
ages excited great attention. In an
cient times-we read that when two
mighty armies were about to engage
in deadly conflict, the occurrence of
an eclipse of the sun so affrighted
the combatants, who conceived that
tli h gods were angry at the scene of
strife, that tliey all dispersed. In
more modern times, we know that
wiien Columbus was shipwrecked on
a desert island, and he had failed by
all the means in his power to compel
the natives to supply him with pro
visions, he resorted to a stratagem.
Ho told tliem their great god, the
sun, Was offeuded with them, and at
a certain hour would withdraw bis
light. The natives soon after beheld,
with great terror, the objuration of
the sun, and at the period of total
daikness fled in the most abject dis
tress to Columbus, who, on their
promising to be more obedient in
future, promised to use his influence
to avert the threatened calamity, and
on the return soon after of the solar
eôïdgeUce, the authority of Columbus
was fixed on an impregnable basis.
Eclipses can of course be calcu
lated for thousands of years in the
future, as well as for thousands of
years in the past. The calculation
proceeds on tb<* hypothesis of the
stability of the solar system, and the
regular and uniform motion of the
planets. After a period of nineteen
years and some months the same
eclipse returns.
The eclipse on the 19th of the
month will.be.an annular one, the
moon beirtg interposed between the
parts of the earth where the eclipse
is unable to be seen, but yet not be
ing large enough totally to obscure
the sun ; the latter will appear out
side the body of the moon as a ring
(or annular) of tire. The eclipse will
not bo quite annular here, as we will
not be in the centre of the moon's
shadow. Two thirds, however, of
the Northern lirnb of the sun will be
eclipsed. The eclipse will be an
nular-in the State of Georgia, and
South Carolina also. At Columbia
South Carolina, the eclipse will be
central. A little over eleven-twelfths
of the sun will be darkened, which
will be nearly a total eclipse. That
. city will be the centre of the moon's
»shadow.
The suu, earth and moon will, of
course, be nearly in a straight line at
the time of the eclipse, there being
95,000,000 of miles between the suu
and earth, and 240,000 between the
earth and moon, and the central
shadow of the eclipse will, of course,
travel nearly around the earth in
consequence of the earth's daily mo
tion. The eclipse will be first 6een
at Olympia, in Washington Terri
tory, whence it will travel as the
earth moves from West to East,
nearly around the earth, and be last
seen at, Timbuctoo, in Africa.
In» our city the eclipse will begin
at 37 minutes past 7 o'clock in the
morning; the period of greatest ob
scuration will be 3 o'clock 28 min
utes, and the termination of the
eclipse will be at 10 o'clock 44 min
utes. During this time, should the
atmosphere be serene, several plane a
and fixed stars will be visible; Ve
nus will be seen 40° West of the
sun ; Jupiter about CO? East of him,
and the fixed star Regulus will be
seen 60° West of him. The Con
stellation Ursa Major will be seen.
The fixed star Spica 11° West of
the sun, and Arctuin about 30° North
of hi vi. and others of the heavenly
bodies will be seen, should the sky
be very clear.
As an eclipse of the sun is occa
sioned by the passing of the moon
between the earth and the sun,
thereby causing the earth to pass
through the moon's shadow, and as
an eclipse of the moon is occasioned
by the moon's passing through the
earth's shadow, we would have one
eclipse of the moon and one eclipse of
the sun every mouth if the plane of
these three bodies coincided. Their
planes are inclined to each other and
hence eclipses are rather rare. But
not so in some of the other planets.
( )n them there may bo several eclipses
in the same day on Jupiter or Saturn,
the first of which has four moons, the
latter seveu, some of which may be
just entering into an eclipse, others
'just emerging from it, some eutirely
obscured, and others shiuing bril
liantly. Indeed, the scenery of the
Heavens when viewed from some of
the other planets very far exceed
tnat seen trow our earth in sub
limity.
