1927 Solar Eclipse Photograph (1927)
by Sir Frank Dyson, Royal Astronomer
Royal Observatory, Greenwich, UK
June 1927 saw Britain in the grip of eclipse fever. A total eclipse of the sun, the first to be visible in Britain for more than 200 years, was predicted for 29 June. The path of totality ran across North Wales and Central England, from Criccieth in North Wales to Hartlepool on the east coast.
This photograph, taken by Royal Astronomer Sir Frank Dyson of the eclipse, is an excellent example of early astronomy photography and makes a great minimalist wall art piece.
