A Very Colorful Solar Eclipse
By Richard Tresch Fienberg


April 9, 2005 | The Moon's dark shadow swept across the Pacific Ocean on Friday, creating a spectacular total solar eclipse that just missed being seen by nobody. Because the path of totality never made landfall, the only people who experienced the dramatic midday darkness were an estimated 1,500 passengers and crew members aboard three cruise ships. These travelers went a very long way for a very brief eclipse, as totality lasted barely 30 seconds, and they had to dodge clouds to see anything at all. But what the event lacked in duration it more than made up for in dazzle.
Experienced eclipse-chasers aboard the MV Discovery north of the Pitcairn Islands described the eclipse as the most colorful one they'd ever seen. When totality set in, the Moon's inky black silhouette was rimmed with a thin and nearly complete ring of magenta fire that was in turn enveloped by a fainter and more expansive white glow — the solar corona, or outer atmosphere — that extended in opposite directions like a bow tie. Adding to the spectacle, the planet Venus gleamed brightly to the right of the Sun in a deep twilight-blue sky.

What made this eclipse so colorful (and so short) was the nearly perfect match in apparent size between the Sun and the Moon. The Moon just barely covered the Sun's visible face, revealing not only the vast corona but also the chromosphere, the thin lower layer of the solar atmosphere that glows with the characteristic red light of energized hydrogen atoms. In most total eclipses the chromosphere is visible only fleetingly at the beginning and end of totality, on opposite sides of the Sun. But this time it formed a nearly complete circle, accented by more than a half dozen flamelike prominences. A particularly large and bright prominence at the 12-o'clock position had detached from the Sun's limb and hung suspended in space.

Observers aboard the Discovery and the Paul Gauguin about 200 kilometers (125 miles) to the northeast were not sure they'd see totality. April 8th dawned partly cloudy in the Pitcairns, with a worrisome combination of low cumulus and high cirrus clouds. In the days leading up to the eclipse, much attention had been focused on satellite photos tracking the development of these weather systems. On the night of April 7th, onboard meteorologist Jay Anderson recommended that Discovery move well to the northeast of its originally planned viewing position. Capt. Erik Bjurstedt agreed, and the ship steamed all night to outrun the clouds that threatened from the southwest.

Occasionally during the partial phases of the eclipse the next morning, the Sun was blocked not only by the Moon, but also by billowing clouds. But observers on both ships saw all of totality around local noon through only a thin haze of cirrus that did little to diminish the experience. Indeed, some felt that the clouds enhanced the experience, partly because they heightened the drama, and partly because they hid Venus until the moment of totality, when it popped into view suddenly and brilliantly. Many eclipse-watchers also noted the appearance of a colorful 22°-diameter halo ringing the partially eclipsed Sun shortly before totality, caused by ice crystals in the high clouds.

Sky & Telescope columnist E. C. Krupp watched the eclipse without optical aid from the bridge of the Discovery. He noted that the twilight colors encircling the horizon were brighter than usual and more yellow than orange or red. No doubt this resulted from the small diameter of the Moon's shadow cone — only about 10 miles rather than the more typical 100 or so. Veteran astrophotographer George Keene observed totality in the viewfinder of his camera as he struggled to get off about a half dozen shots while the ship pitched and rolled in the ocean. He noted that the veil of cirrus "fuzzed things up" and made anything but very short exposures impossible. Although he won't know his results till he gets home because he shot the eclipse on slide film, others aboard the Discovery used digital cameras and got instant gratification. It's already clear that there are lots of great photos of this eclipse; many will appear in future issues of Sky & Telescope.


Nobody on the Discovery reported seeing shadow bands just before or after totality, nor did anyone catch sight of 2nd-magnitude Mercury shining to the upper left of the eclipsed Sun (most didn't dare waste valuable time looking for it). Given the presence of clouds, the latter non-observation is not at all surprising. What is surprising is the fact that some observers, including a handful of first-timers, noted a greenish cast to the corona. Some felt that this might be purely a visual effect caused by the eye's reaction to the intense pink of the chromosphere and prominences. But a green coronal tinge has been reported during past eclipses where very little chromosphere was visible, and a distinct green coloration seems to have been captured in some of the digital photos shot on April 8th.

Like many of his fellow eclipse-chasers, Jay Anderson didn't sleep well the night of April 7th as the Discovery raced in search of clear skies. But afterward he expressed relief and contentment, despite feeling that his time in the Moon's shadow lasted far less than the 33 seconds elapsed on the ship's clock. "Any eclipse you see," he quipped, "is better than an eclipse you don't see!"

The April 8th solar eclipse in the South Pacific was editor in chief Rick Fienberg's 5th (and shortest) totality.

本周五,月球的阴影横扫太平洋,造成了一次壮观的但却几乎不为人

知的日环食。由于日食带几乎不经过陆地,在中午看到这次有趣的日

环食现象的人仅为三艘远洋舰上的1500余名乘客和船员。这些乘客自

远方来,经历了漫长的旅途,却仅仅为了观测这勉强能达到30秒的短

暂的日环食(环食时间——译者注),而且他们还要不断避开空中可

能遮挡太阳的朵朵云彩。但即使这次日环食的持续时间很短暂,它还

是给我们带来了耀眼的景象。

一群在Pitcairn小岛北部的日食追逐者称,这次日食是他们所经历过

的最美丽的一次。当环食开始时,月球的黑影轮廓显得很薄,并且呈

现出一个近乎完整德粉红色火焰环,它的外围是一片更广的白色辉光

——日冕,即太阳的外层大气,它像个蝴蝶结一样向着相反的方向延

伸。深蓝的天空中,明亮的金星在太阳右方(西方——译者注)熠熠

发光,令这景象更加锦上添花。

这次日环食之所以如此美丽(同时也是如此的短暂)是因为太阳与月

球之间近乎完美的视直径。月球恰好能遮住太阳明亮的光球,留下色

球与日冕。色球是太阳大气的一层,它特有的红光是氢原子受激后产

生的。发生日全食时,我们只能在全食开始和结束的短暂一刻在日面

边缘观测到色球。但这次环食中,我们有幸欣赏到一个完整的色球环

,它的上面至少有6个火焰般的日珥。其中在12点钟方向(12-o'clock

position  虾米意思??????)有一个巨大的明亮日珥,它脱离

了日面,悬在空中。

Discovery号和东北方200余千米远的Paul Gauguin号上的观测者们起

初并不确信他们能完整的观测这次日环食。8日黄昏时,在Pitcairns

小岛上看到了令人担忧的积云和卷云。日食前的几天,他们密切关注

卫星云图。7日晚,船上的气象学家Jay Anderson劝告说Discovery号

最好离开原定的观测地点。Erik Bjurstedt船长表示同意,于是该船

连夜赶往不受云影响的西南部。

第二天早上观测日食时,太阳不时的被云层挡住。但船上的观测者透

过薄薄的卷云观测了整个日食过程。实际上,一些观测者觉得这些云

反而丰富了他们的观测经历。或许由于这些云增加了戏剧性,或许由

于它们挡住了金星,直到环食显现的一刻,它才忽然明亮的进入人们

的视野。许多观测者记录下了环食发生前绚丽的22度日晕,它是由于

高空云层中微小冰晶造成的。

Sky & Telescope杂志社的专栏编辑E. C. Krupp用肉眼观测了这次日

环食。他描述说地平线附近的薄暮的颜色比往常的要来得亮,并且比

红橙色更加偏黄。毫无疑问,这是由于相对太阳较小的月球角直径的

影锥造成的。资深天文学家George Keene通过摄相机的取景器观测了

这次日食。他在摇晃的船上奋力拍下了6断录像。George Keene称,那

些薄卷云模糊了一切,使得除了短时间曝光以外的拍摄都变成妄想。

虽然在他回家之前他没法得知他的拍摄结果,但船上使用数码相机的

其他观测者立即就看到了拍下的壮观景象。能确信的是这次日食得到

了大量的优秀照片,并且许多即将刊登在下期的Sky & Telescope杂志

中。

同大多数观测者一样,Jay Anderson在7日晚船的疾驶中没有睡好,但

后来他觉得这值得,尽管他感觉这次环食的时间远少于船上记录的33

秒。“不管看到何种日食”他调侃说,“总比没观测到日食要好!”
