SCIENTIFIC OBSERVERS STUDY WYOMING ECLIPSE NOTES
Observers across Rawlins Separations and Creston detailed corona studies with a wide team. Dr. Henry Draper and Prof. Barker used spectroscopes while Edison measured heat. Watson sought Vulcan. Harkness Robinson Sturdy and Trouvelot contributed photographs and polariscopic data. The corona appeared as reflected solar light, with a continuous spectrum, and totality lasted five seconds longer than predicted. Observers conclude solar light reflected from solid substances forms the corona.
