• cur | prev 2024 T. Vogel (talk | contribs) . . (5,290 bytes) (+200) . . (→ tightening the section on prediction. the point is not that we can compute it. the point is that the one term we cannot compute is the ground we are standing on)
• cur | prev 2017 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (5,090 bytes) (+250) . . (→ adding the Oregon plate. the shadow crossed a continent on the minute printed, in front of a great many people with telephones, and nothing whatever was revised afterwards)
• cur | prev 2016 MudGeometer_1844 (talk | contribs) . . (4,840 bytes) (+80) . . (YOU CANT PREDIKT A THING YOU DONT UNDERSTAND. THEY DONE IT FOR 2 THOUSAND YEERS SO THATS MY POINT MADE FOR ME)
• cur | prev 1972 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (4,760 bytes) (+180) . . (→ a second inserted into the civil year to keep the clock with the planet. the planet is the part that will not hold still, which is the sentence this article has been circling since 1695)
• cur | prev 1969 O. Neugebauer (talk | contribs) . . (4,580 bytes) (+290) . . (→ on Thales: there was no method available in the sixth century that would place a solar eclipse over Anatolia. if he said it, he was lucky. the tablets are very good and they do not do this)
• cur | prev 1954 M. Allais (talk | contribs) . . (4,290 bytes) (+220) . . (→ the pendulum turned during the totality, and the run it turned in was a routine one that happened to contain an eclipse. i report the observation and not an explanation of it)
• cur | prev 1952 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (4,070 bytes) (+110) . . (→ Lyot has died at Cairo coming back from the eclipse in Sudan. he had made the journey unnecessary and went on making it)
• cur | prev 1931 B. Lyot (talk | contribs) . . (3,960 bytes) (+300) . . (→ the corona can now be had on any clear morning at the Pic du Midi, from an occulting disc inside the instrument. the eclipses are no longer necessary for it)
• cur | prev 1919 A. Eddington (talk | contribs) . . (3,660 bytes) (+340) . . (→ the stars beside the sun are not quite where they are at night, and the amount is the amount predicted. the cloud at Principe broke late and there are very few plates. a little more of it and we should have had nothing)
• cur | prev 1908 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (3,320 bytes) (−140) . . (→ Lick reports the observational side of the intramercurial question closed after three photographic expeditions. seven eclipses, fifty years, nothing to agree on. removing the elements)
• cur | prev 1878 L. Swift (talk | contribs) . . (3,460 bytes) (+120) . . (→ observed the same from near Denver, and i have its place too. the two places are not the same place)
• cur | prev 1878 J. Watson (talk | contribs) . . (3,340 bytes) (+150) . . (→ observed from Wyoming during the totality: a ruddy disc, not a point, and not any star in the catalogue. i have its place)
• cur | prev 1872 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (3,190 bytes) (+130) . . (→ it did not follow. the track came out wrong by whole bands of latitude and the maker has died. noting the gap rather than the excuse)
• cur | prev 1870 J. Grimble (talk | contribs) . . (3,060 bytes) (+260) . . (→ the Orrery is to cast the shadow on the plane, from its own geometry and not from the Almanac. the fitting is in hand and the eclipse part will follow)
• cur | prev 1866 the Mud Geometer (talk | contribs) . . (2,800 bytes) (+90) . . (THE SHADO COME WHEN THEY SAY IT WILL. THAT DONT MEEN THE REST OF IT IS SO. A CLOCK CAN BE RITE ABOUT THE TIME AND RONG ABOUT EVERYTHING ELS)
• cur | prev 1860 U. Le Verrier (talk | contribs) . . (2,710 bytes) (+240) . . (→ the planet within Mercury cannot be seen against the day. it can be seen at an eclipse, and i have given the elements to look by)
• cur | prev 15 May 1836 F. Baily (talk | contribs) . . (2,470 bytes) (+280) . . (→ at Inch Bonney, the last of the light broke into a row of bright points along the moon's edge before it went. they are her mountains, seen by their gaps. an annular eclipse, and worth the journey)
• cur | prev 1715 J. Senex (talk | contribs) . . (2,190 bytes) (+90) . . (→ second sheet engraved and on sale. the first sold better, people having wanted to know beforehand)
• cur | prev 1715 E. Halley (talk | contribs) . . (2,100 bytes) (+300) . . (→ corrected from the accounts sent in. the centre passed over Plymouth, Exeter, Buckingham and Huntingdon; we were something under twenty miles out. tho our numbers pretend not to be altogether perfect, yet the correction they need is very small)
• cur | prev March 1715 E. Halley (talk | contribs) . . (1,800 bytes) (+480) . . (→ the shadow will cross England on the twenty second of April and here is the line of it, engraved and to be had at the Globe in Salisbury Court. i ask the reader to observe and to send in the times. Mr Whiston has a sheet of his own out this month, from the same engraver)
• cur | prev 1695 E. Halley (talk | contribs) . . (1,320 bytes) (+340) . . (→ the old eclipses are recorded in the wrong countries, or the sky is. i incline to think the fault is ours and that the Earth does not keep an even pace)
• cur | prev c. 400 BC a Chaldean (talk | contribs) . . (980 bytes) (+420) . . (→ the interval is eighteen years, eleven days and eight hours, and at the end of it the like eclipse returns. i set down that it returns. i do not set down what it is, that not being in my office)
• cur | prev c. 430 BC Herodotus (talk | contribs) . . (560 bytes) (+260) . . (→ attributing the foretelling to Thales of Miletus, who fixed the year. i have this from persons who were not present, which is the general case with the past)
• cur | prev c. 585 BC a herald (talk | contribs) . . (300 bytes) (+300) . . (created page; the day went out over the river while the lines were engaged. both hosts put up their arms and would not take them again. the terms are the Halys, and a marriage)
