Solar eclipse of April 16, 1893
Introduction Corona as viewed from Mina Los Bronces, Región de Atacama, ChileA total solar eclipse occurred on April 16, 1893.A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide.
Observations According to Edward S. Holden, John Martin Schaeberle discovered a comet like object on the plates of the eclipse from Chile. The comet was 0.8 Moon diameters from the Moon.Schaeberle observed the eclipse and made drawings of the Corona:240pxPredicted by Schaeberle240pxObserved by Schaeberle240pxObserved by Schaeberle
