Abstract

On November 12, 1966, more than 450 scientists and technicians from throughout the United States conducted research projects on what may be the most intensively studied solar eclipse in the 4000 years of recorded history of such events. Scientists, many of them working on cooperative investigations with researchers from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Italy, and Peru, studied many aspects of the eclipse in 87 U. S. research projects. A total of about 150 projects were conducted by scientists of 14 countries. Studies included land, sea, and airborne probes of the Sun and its effects on the Earth's atmosphere, using airplanes, balloons, ships, and rockets as platforms for highly sophisticated instrumentation photography.
