Longest total solar eclipse photographed in 1200 years
Astronomers enjoyed near perfect weather to record the longest total eclipse in 1,200 years. At Canton Island the Navy and National Geographic sent eleven tons of gear to capture images and relay the scene to the U.S. The American Museum of Natural History team viewed from 25,000 feet over Lima, Peru, while other observers watched from Pacific ships. Eclipse durations varied from three and a half to seven minutes, a costly journey deemed worthwhile by science.
