Show New Deal of the Sun A new idea of the sun follows the discovery, through a photograph, photo-graph, taken during the recent eclipse, that the gieat tongues of flame, supposedly leaping from the sun, do not in fact leap at all but that the solar globe is surrounded with an envelope of atmosphere which glows and the tongues of fire are part of the whole. The pictures from which this discovery was made were taken by Major Stevens, flying around 25,000 feet above the earth of South America, during the last eclipse. They will lead to renewed efforts to secure additional stratosphere photographs of the next eclipse of the sun, which, we believe, will come in about three years. |
