This book was released on 1969 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographs of the solar corona from a camera flown at an altitude of 40,000 feet were obtained on November 12, 1966. The absolute brightness, polarization and the direction of polarization of the solar corona between 3.5 and 13 solar radii were determined from these photographs. A significant polarized component was found in this region, the structure of which can be closely correlated with features in the inner corona. Comparisons are made in the July 20, 1963 and May 30, 1965 eclipses and evidence is given for changes in brightness of the coronal light between these eclipses. (Author).
