| 释义 |
A total solar eclipse occurred on May 6, 1883. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. The path of totality fell across the southern Pacific Ocean with no major landfall. Partiality was visible from far eastern Australia at sunrise, and New Zealand, as well as western South America and southern Mexico near sunset. This eclipse is a member of Solar Saros 136, and its maximum duration was 5 minutes and 58 seconds. ObservationsAn expedition of American astronomers traveled from Peru to Caroline Island aboard the {{USS|Hartford|1858|6}} to observe the total solar eclipse. A French expedition also observed the eclipse from Caroline, and the United States Navy mapped the atoll.[1] Johann Palisa, a member of the expedition, discovered an asteroid later that year which he named Carolina "in remembrance of his visit to [the] island."[2] Related eclipsesSaros 136{{Solar_Saros_series 136}}Notes1. ^{{cite book | last = Bryan | first = E.H. | authorlink = | author2 = | year = 1942 | title = American Polynesia and the Hawaiian Chain | publisher = Tongg Publishing Company | location = Honolulu | id = }} 2. ^{{cite book | first=L.D. | last=Schmadel | year=2000 | title=Dictionary of Minor Planet Names | edition=4th | publisher=Springer-Verlag Telos |location=Berlin | isbn=3-540-66292-8 }} References
