TL;DR: In this article, the ionospheric behavior during the annular solar eclipse on the 15th January 2010 based on TEC measurements of six Ionosonde stations located in China and Japan was presented.
Abstract: This paper presents the ionospheric behavior during the annular solar eclipse on the 15th January 2010 based on TEC measurements of six Ionosonde stations located in China and Japan. The selected stations had experienced partial solar eclipse with a magnitude between 60% and 90%. Results at these stations show a clear ITEC depletion occurrence during the period of eclipse. Comparison between the TEC level during the solar eclipse period with the ITEC on the day before, day after and the average quiet day TEC (QDITEC) reveals a significant drop in the TEC level in the range between 0.1% and 64%.

TL;DR: The authors trace the ways in which the total solar eclipses of 1869 and 1878 were portrayed in the New York Times, which helped generate a groundswell of interest in amateur astronomy in this country.
Abstract: Solar eclipses have long fascinated the general public and served as a means of popularising astronomy. During the nineteenth century a number of different total eclipses were visible from the United States, and in addition to generating enormous scientific interest these created considerable popular appeal. Here we trace the ways in which the total solar eclipses of 1869 and 1878 were portrayed in the New York Times, which helped generate a groundswell of interest in amateur astronomy in this country.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discussed the possibility of deriving information concerning the nature of the solar radiation responsible for upper-atmospheric ionisation by means of wireless observations made during a solar eclipse.
Abstract: AT a recent Geophysical Discussion at the Royal Astronomical Society (an account of which has been published in the March issue of the Observatory) the possibility of deriving information concerning the nature of the solar radiation responsible for upper-atmospheric ionisation by means of wireless observations made during a solar eclipse was discussed by us. It is known that the agents principally responsible for the ionisation in both of the atmospheric ionised layers travel rectilinearly, so that both ultraviolet light and swiftly moving neutral particles may be considered as possible causes. Because of the difference in velocity with which these two types of radiation travel, it turns out that there are important differences in the incidence in time and place for what may be called the ‘optical eclipse’ and the ‘corpuscular eclipse’, when the moon cuts off the solar stream from the earth.

TL;DR: In this paper, the author gave an account of the more interesting phenomena of the eclipse, and of the methods employed in observing and recording them; the details of his observations being given in an elaborate Paper bearing the above title.
Abstract: The Lecturer gave an account of the more interesting phenomena of the eclipse, and of the methods employed in observing and recording them; the details of his observations being given in an elaborate Paper bearing the above title. The Lecture was illustrated by a great number of diagrams and models. The photographic images of the eclipse were projected on a screen by means of the electric lamp, and some of the more striking phenomena were imitated by apparatus contrived for that purpose.
