Eclipse . . .
From page one
PERSONS TRAVELING to Canada will probably take pictures of the eclipse, Bord said, but will not make scientific observations or measurements of it.
Another weekend event inspired by the eclipse will be a public celebration sponsored by the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department.
According to Debbie Bachman, special events coordinator for the park department, she visits the park from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Sunday at the South Park recreation center, 1141 Massachusetts Ave.
The celebration will feature live music, slides and films, dancing and a magic show.
THE ECLIPSE itself will occur the day after the sun festival, and scientists from all over the world will be in North America to watch it.
A total solar eclipse permits scientists to study the sun's corona, its flaring outer atmosphere, without interference from the Earth. The moon covers the sun, and the moon covers during an eclipse. Bord said.
Sometimes stars become visible in the sky near the sun during eclipses.
"This has permitted research verifying one of the predictions of Einstein's theory of relativity: that gravity bends light," Bord said.
THE STARS that become visible near the sun during an eclipse have been observed, measured and mapped by astronomers who discovered his famous theory in the 1930s, Bord said.
When the same stars are mapped and measured without the sun between them and the earth, their positions seem to have changed. When they are actually bends or redirects the photos, or

particles of light, from the stars before they reach the earth during an eclipse.
THE MOON moves between the sun and the earth every month, but the moon's orbit around the earth is on a different plane from that of the earth's orbit around the sun.
The moon can move between the sun and the earth only while all three are in the same plane. Bord said this occurred twice a year and was called an "colseon season."
Total solar eclipse do not occur during every eclipse season, but one does occur
over some area of the earth about once
every two years, according to Bord.
Other types of eclipses also occur during eclipse seasons, such as lunar eclipses, in which the earth's shadow falls on the moon, whereas the moon blocks only the center of the sun.
A LUNAR eclipse will be visible from Lawrence on March 12.
Men have known what caused eclipses since medieval times, Bord said, but primitive peoples were frightened by the sudden darkening of the skys during the day.
Larry Cosgrove, of the KU 'Weather Service, said there probably would be some clouds in the sky Monday morning. He said they were likely to be cloudy enough to obscure the eclipse.
