This item was about the total solar eclipse that occurred on 23 November 2003, observed from India's Antarctic station Maitri. It was seen in the photograph that the shadow of the Moon was only able to cover the middle area of the Sun such that the Sun looks like a heavy ring during the eclipse captured from the horizon.

This item was about the total solar eclipse that occurred on 11 June 1983 in Indonesia. In photos of the event, the Sun appears to be entirely covered by the shadow of the Moon, with only the Sun' corona visible as a bright golden ring.
Indian Institute of AstrophysicsThis item was about the total solar eclipse that occurred on 24 October 1995 at Neem Ka Thana in Rajasthan. In the collection three photographs were captured at different intervals during a solar eclipse. The first photograph shows the Sun as fully covered by the Moon, creating a half-ring. The second photograph displays the Sun's corona as a bright, heavy ring, and the third shows the Sun as a light ring.
Indian Institute of AstrophysicsThis item was about the image of the coronal structures (visible only during eclipses), from left to right : taken with (a) green filter, 100ms exposure, 2x2 binning, (b) red filter, 300ms exposure, 4x4 binning and (c) red filter, 100ms exposure, full resolution.
Indian Institute of AstrophysicsThis item was about the photograph of Thomas Royds. Thomas Royds (1923-1937) succeeded John Evershed as the Kodaikanal Observatory Director in 1923 and retired in 1937.
Royds, ThomasFrench astronomer Gustave de Pontecoulant wrote the Analytical Theory of the World System volume 3, part I has pages from "i-xxiv, 1 - 230" and part II has pages from "231 - 566". It was published in 1834. It contains mathematical and scientific explanations of various phenomena related to celestial bodies and their movements. The book covers topics such as the orbits of planets, perturbations caused by gravitational influences, calculations of constants and coefficients, expressions for perturbing forces, and equations for determining the elements of orbits.
de Pontecoulant, GThis item is Analytical Theory of the World System volume 2, written by French astronomer Gustave de Pontecoulant and published in 1829. It covers topics such as the movements of celestial bodies, equations of motion, and other aspects of celestial mechanics. It has 506 pages.
de Pontecoulant, GThe title of the book " Theoric analytique du system du Monde" translates to " Analytical Theory of the World System ". There are two volumes of this book. The first volume has seven chapters, and the second volume consists of 9 chapters. This book was written by G De Pontecoulant and published in 1829.
de Pontecoulant, GThis item was an instrument used in surveying land, alignment, testing, and calibrating optical Instruments. It is basically a refracting telescope. Whose optical elements tilt angles with high accuracy of the order of arcsecs.
Digges, LeonardThis item was about the total solar eclipse that occurred on 7 March, 1970. The resulting photograph shows the Sun completely covered by the Moon, with only the corona visible and, which was captured by the camera.
