The History and Science of Total Solar Eclipses

'The History and Science of Total Solar Eclipses' website, provides an historical perspective on previous expeditions to view solar eclipses around the world. With an interactive map and timeline, you can explore where and when key observations took place, as well as discovering more about the science of eclipses and the Sun in general. This website represents the work of 6 undergraduate summer students and 2 PhD students under the supervision of Dr Deborah Kent and Dr Tom Elsden at St Andrews, which was funded by an STFC Knowledge Exchange Institutional Award (KEIA).
