TOTAL IN MAINE, PARTIAL HERE:
Eclipse of Sun To Facilitate Scientific Studies

By ALTON BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Writer
NEW YORK-The sun, earth
and moon have a date today for
a dazzling celestial treat-a total
eclipse of the sun.
For some ancients, an eclipse
was a case of a dragon swallowing
the sun.
For today's scientists, it's a rare
opportunity for a host of studies
and measurements, with some as-
tronomers planning to chase the
moon's shadow in airplanes, and
space satellites engaging in some
special snooping, too.
For the public, it can be an awe-
some display as the sky darkens
and the air cools, as stars appear
and the great pearly halo or cor-
ona of the sun springs into view.
Full Spectacle
Only a relative handful of Amer-
icans will be lucky enough to see
the full spectacle, for the eclipse
will be total only along a, path,
averaging about 60 miles wide,
sweeping across Alaska, Canada
and Maine. In Maine, totality will
occur between 4:42 and 4:44 p.m.,
EST, depending on an observer's
location.
But, weather permitting, almost
everyone else can see the sun par-
tially eclipsed as the moon swings
between the sun and the earth.
The sun will be 83 per cent cover-
ed in Ann Arbor, 94 per cent in the
Boston area, 49 per cent for those
in Miami, 77 per cent in Chicago,
54 per cent in Denver, and 34 per
cent in San Francisco, for exam-
ple. Hawaii loses out altogether.
Your eyes can be irreparably
damaged unless you take the
greatest precautions in watching
the show. Experts advise using a
double thickness of black and
white film which has been expos-
ed and developed to maximum
density. Ordinary sunglasses or
a hunk of smoked glass are by
no means safe enough; they warn.
Indirect Viewing Best

During totality, the sun's outer
atmosphere or corona glows in
pale yellow and pearly white hues,
reaching hundreds of thousands
of miles into space. Behind the
moon's rim, scarlet tongues of
gases may come jetting up, the
solar prominences born of violent
reactions on the sun. As totality
ends, Baily's Beads may be spotted
again, then slowly the moon ends
its obscuring journey, full daylight
returns, sometimes to the puzzle-
ment of birds which had taken to
early roost.
The eclipse begins in northern
Japan about dawn, then the dark
racing shadow of the moon sweeps
over the Pacific, entering Alaska
near Nunivak Island, across the
Yukon Territory and Great Slave
Lake, over Saskatchewan, Mani-
tobe and Ontario and southern
Quebec, then into central Maine.
The path dashes out to sea at
Bar Harbor, Me., less than three
hours after it touched Japan.
Japanese astronomers and scien-
tists get the first crack at special
eclipse studies, and are setting up
for measurements of the pre-sun-
rise zodaical light and the colors
and polarization of light from the
sun's corona.
In Alaska, where the American
Astronomical Society is meeting at
the University of Alaska, profes-
sional and amateur astronomers
will have front row seats.
Some astronomers aboard a spe-
cially-equipped Royal Canadian
Air Force turbo-prop plane will
speed along the -moon's full shad-

ow path, hoping to win an extra 18
seconds of total eclipse over the
100 seconds available on the
ground.
A DC-8 rigged as a flying ob-
servatory is et to fly from Califor-
nia into the Canadian eclipse path
in a joint venture of the National
Geographic Society and Douglas
Aircraft Co.
Astronomers from the Hayden
Planetarium in New York and
Smithsonian Astrophysical Ob-
servatory in Cambridge and some
newsmen and photographers will
fly nearly eight miles high over
Maine for a super view of the
eclipse aboard a special American
Airlines Jet eclipse flight.
A Tiros weather satellite may
help forecast cloud conditions for
astronomers with equipment at lo-
cations on the ground, and other
instrumented satellites now circl-
ing the earth may, from their high
vantage points, take revealing
peeks at phenomena associated
with the eclipse.
Canadian, American, German,
British and Dutch astronomers
will work from pre-selected sites
on the North American pass of the
eclipse probing for new under-
standings and details of what
nature reveals when the moon
comes along to make the sun blink.

the ground. Or you can produce
them yourself by poking numer-
ous holes into cardboard held sev-
eral feet above the ground.
The big treats come to those
in the path of totality, and Maine
is expecting scores of thousands
of eclipse viewers, at least some
of them making the journey at
urgings of space-conscious young-
sters in the family. Television
cameras will try to record the big
show, too.
Moon Over Sun
Gradually the moon moves over

rim. Some observers may spot the
diamond ring effect, when light is
streaming through only a single
lunar valley.

safest. One method is to make a with but one millionth of the sun's

"Half of our four-year collegesI
and four-fifths of our junior col-I
leges are inadequate as education-t
al institutions if we. really believeI
that the library is essential to edu-
cation at the college level," Uni-1
versity Library Director Frederick
H. Wagman said yesterday.
Addressing the American LibraryI
Association at its 1963 ChicagoI
Conference, Wagman said, "Fail-
ure to improve the majority of the
existing college libraries . . ., may
prejudice the opportunity for the
intellectual growth of hundreds of,
thousands of our young people."
Wagman claimed that college
students are forced to use public
libraries, special libraries and li-
braries available in the urban
areas 'in an effort to overcome
the inadequacies of the book col-,
lections of their own institutions."
However, he said, few of these oth-
er libraries offer the student need-
ed resources.
