Eclipses
Frank Close
Have you ever seen a total solar eclipse? If the question caused you to search your memory, the correct answer would have been “no.” This book helps explain the profound differences between a 99.99% partial eclipse and true totality, and inform readers how to experience this most beautiful natural phenomenon successfully. It covers eclipses of sun, moon, and other astronomical objects, and their applications in science, as well as their role in history, literature, and myth.
