ECLIPSE PREPARATIONS
SIX YEARS AHEAD. Two astronomers are busy looking for suitable places from which to observe the total eclipse of the sun on October 1, 1940, says a Capetown message. They are Dr. J. Jackson, His Majesty’s Astronomer at the Cape, and Professor Brown, of Capetown University.
The eclipse will be visible along a belt of land 130 miles wide. British and American scientists are expected to visit the Union to see the eclipse, which will probably be of exceptionally long duration. Conditions for observing it are expected to be the best for twenty years.
