Since There's A Sun Eclipse Tomorrow, Storer Says Sky Probably Will Be Cloudy
"It never fails. Saturday is certain to be a cloudy day."
That's the pessimistic opinion of Prof. N. W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy. A partial eclipse of the sun will take place Saturday morning and as Professor Storer explains.
"Every time something interesting is going on in the skies that I want to see, the day is cloudy." ❖
Nevertheless, he is going ahead with his plans for observation. As the moon passes in front of the sun, casting a shadow on the earth, he will be in his observatory on top of Lindley hall hallting its movement. According to his calculations, the eclipse should begin at 38 minutes, 35 seconds after 9 a.m. and end at one minute, 54 seconds after noon.
"In down-town Lawrence," Professor Storer said. "they would vary by a few seconds. In Kansas City, for instance, the eclipse will end about 12:04 instead of 12:01 here."
These figures, however, are only for the K. U. observatory.
Professor Storer suggests smoking a small piece of glass over a candle and peering through it, or merely gazing through an old snapshot negative. Even an ex-G. I. with 20-20 vision won't be able to see it with the naked eve.
K. U. students who haven't the ambition to climb the long flight of stairs to the Lindley observatory Saturday may view the eclipse anywhere in Lawrence (provided they get out of bed in time).
Only about one third of the sun's surface will be blotted out by the moon at this eclipse. The last total eclipse that Kanssans could observe was in 1918 and the next will not occur in the next 100 years, Professor Storer said. The next partial eclipse will be in May, 1947.
When Saturday morning rolls around, Dr. Storer says you have two choices. If the sun is shining, get up and watch the eclipse. If the sun is covered by clouds, roll over and go back to sleep.
