Astronomers from several nations spent large sums to study yesterday's total solar eclipse. Clouds blotting the corona limited many expeditions, but notable efforts included radio eclipse measurements, Kennelly-Heaviside layer observations, and Einstein readings needing months to calibrate. Ships and aircraft tracked the shadow racing 2,000 miles per hour with diverse animal responses noted.
