The Lick Observatory: Eclipse Expeditions
What is the solar corona?
Why does the sun have a corona?
Can General Relativity be proved?
And, are there other planets or unknown bodies revolving around the sun?
During this time, the Directors of the Lick saw the documentation and analysis of eclipses as a core contribution of the Lick to the field of astronomy, both in attempting to answer the questions posed above, but also simply to record and archive the eclipses for posterity.
