the solar wind
in 1897, annie received a grant from girton college to acquire a short-focus camera with a 1.5-inch lens which she took on expeditions. the lens used was made by t.r. dallmeyer, a famous london optician. she used this camera to photograph the outer solar corona from india in 1898. with this camera she captured the longest ray, coronal streamer, seen at the time with her own equipment that she operated and designed herself. her camera was designed with a large field-of-view for photographing the milky way, which made it possible to look for faint and distant corona. to take photos of the eclipse, annie took a series of photographs with her camera and ranging exposures during the couple minutes of the totality of the eclipse. her photographs recorded a stream from the sun that extended over 10 million kilometers. royal society soiree, agnes clerke wrote "mrs. maunder with her tiny lens has beaten all the big instruments." annie's description of the direction and motion of the particles in the corona which she observed, describes the now accepted parker spiral structure of the solar wind. in 1900 annie, along with other members of the baa, traveled to algiers to observe the total eclipse of the sun on the may 28th of that year. the members of the association that accompanied her were mary acworth evershed, lilian martin-leake, and c. o. stevens. she photographed the corona and observed “plume” like rays, coining the term which is still used today. in may of 1901, the maunders went on a solar expedition in mauritius in which annie was not included as an official observer (though her husband walter was) and had to pay her own way. since annie was not an official observer, she decided to go to a separate location to photograph the eclipse. of the two mauritius corona photographs that were published, one was walter's and one was annie's. the only expedition in which annie's expenses were paid for was the expedition to canada where the maunders were invited and sponsored by the canadian government.
