Eclipse
Simon Armitage was commissioned in 1996 by the National Theatre in London to write 'Eclipse' for the BT National Connections Scheme for young people. The play was inspired by the real-life disappearance of a girl in Hebden Bridge, and set at the time of the 1999 solar eclipse in Cornwall. Six friends are interviewed by the police after the disappearance of Lucy Lime, the strange unnerving girl whom they met on the beach beneath the cliffs. Each in turn goes into an interview room and makes a statement about the version of events which is either the one being remembered or the one being created. Between the monologues there is a series of flashbacks to the day when the eclipse occurred and Lucy Lime appears and disappears. 'Eclipse' was first produced at the Cottesloe Theatre in London in 2004.
Atlas of Solar Eclipses
The Atlas of Solar Eclipses - 2020 to 2045 is an adventure guide for eclipse chasers traveling the world in search of nature's most stupendous sight, a total eclipse of the Sun. The atlas covers every type of solar eclipse around the world - total, annular, and partial - with overview, regional, and detail maps. Emphasis is given to total solar eclipses in heavily populated areas, such as the 2024 April 8 eclipse across North America, the 2027 August 2 eclipse over Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, and the 2045 August 12 eclipse crossing North and South America. The maps are designed to give the reader important information for choosing optimal locations for viewing total and annular solar eclipses, along with explanations of the types of solar eclipses and the phenomena an eclipse viewer will see. Accompanying text gives details of circumstances such as the time of day, sky altitude of eclipse, special situations, viewing advice, and points of interest along the path of each eclipse. The atlas is richly illustrated and developed in an easy-to-understand style and includes summary world maps of every solar eclipse from 1901 to 2100.
Celestial Shadows
Much of what is known about the universe came from the study of celestial shadows. This book looks in detail at the way eclipses and other celestial shadows have given us amazing insights into the nature of the objects in our solar system and how they are even helping us discover and analyze planets that orbit stars other than our Sun. A variety of eclipses, transits, and occultations of the mooons of Jupiter and Saturn, Pluto and its satellite Charon, asteroids and stars have helped astronomers to work out their dimensions, structures, and shapes - even the existence of atmospheres and structures of exoplanets. Long before Columbus set out to reach the Far East by sailing West, the curved s...

Empire and the Sun
Astronomy was a popular and important part of Victorian sciences, and British astronomers carried telescopes to remote areas in India, North America, and Caribbean and Pacific islands to watch solar eclipses. This book tells the full story of these expeditions: the long periods of planning and financing, and the day-to-day work of getting to field sites, setting up camp, and preparing, observing, and recording eclipses.
