Ground-based total solar eclipse observations are still the key method for coronal investigations. The question about its white-light degree of polarization remains unanswered. There are hypotheses claiming that the degree of polarization in certain regions of the corona may be higher than the maximal theoretically predicted value determined by Thomson scattering. We present polarization of the white-light solar corona observations obtained by three different teams during the March 29, 2006 solar total eclipse. We give an interpretation on how the polarization of the sky impacts brightness of the polarized solar corona, depending on the landscape during the totality. Moreover, it is shown that the singular polarization points of the corona are in linear dependence with the height of the Sun above the horizon.

AbstractHigh resolution images, obtained during July 11, 1991 total solar eclipse, allowed us to estimate the degree of solar corona polarization in the light of FeXIV 530.3 nm emission line and in the white light, as well. Very preliminary analysis reveals remarkable differences in the degree of polarization for both sets of data, particularly as for level of polarization and its distribution around the Sun’s limb.

I report on the three expeditions organized to observe, in the Brazilian State of Ceará, the total solar eclipse on May 29, 1919. Apart from the well-known British expedition, which aimed to perform measurements of the bending of stellar light rays passing near the Sun, resulting in the confirmation of Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, there were two other expeditions in that occasion. One has been a Brazilian expedition, organized by the National Observatory, with the aim of studying the solar corona. The other has been a North-American expedition, organized by the Carnegie Institution, aiming to perform measurements related to terrestrial magnetism and atmospheric electricity.

Information Project

This project had two principal objectives: to communicate safe methods to observe the Sun, so as to prevent ophthalmological accidents to people during the total solar eclipse of 3rd November 1994, and to collaborate with the primary school teachers in the science classroom, illustrating the classes, motivating the students to observe sky phenomena.In January 1993, a commission called “ECLIPSE 94“Executive Commission, of the Brazilian Astronomical Society was created to coordinate assistance with arrangements for observing the total solar eclipse of 3rd November 1994, that in Brazil was total in the western part of Paraná State, in Santa Catarina State and in a Rio Grande do Sul zone. Professional astronomers from Brazil and from several parts of the world were mobilized to observe this eclipse.
