Maps of Solar Eclipses from 1845 to 1849
An annular solar eclipse crossed Eurasia from Ireland to China. This was a long duration annular eclipse with a maximum duration of 8 minutes and 35 seconds.
A Captain Jacob observed the eclipse from Bombay, India, and gave this account: " When the annulus was about forming, the first thing noticed
was the light running rapidly round on the south side, leaving a break of considerable extent, which seemed to arise from a projecting table-land in the moon, This was soon withdrawn, and at the same instant a kind of ligament, or stalk, of about I' in breadth, was seen attaching the moon's limb to that of the sun, which was not quite clear, this snlall spot only excepted; the moon's limb was also perfectly well defined except in this point. “
This print entitled The ceremonies observed in every province and city of China on the occasion of an eclipse. was engraved from a painting by Poshang.
