Excerpt from American Eclipse Expedition to Japan, 1887: Preliminary Report (Unofficial) On the Total Solar Eclipse of 1887 Meteorological indications were only of the most general character, and far from precise. The stations of the Japanese Meteorological Service being all on the coasts, there was little to enable one to form even a fair guess as to what the chances in the interior might be. I have to thank the officers of this service for much assistance, espec iallv Dr E. Knipping, the meteorologist of the Imperial Central Observatory at Tokio. On general grounds, he with others thought that the chances of a clear August afternoon were rather better on the west coast, near Niigata, say, than elsewhere. And thither I should doubtless have gone without farther enquiry, but that the means of sea-transportation were uncertain, while the journey by pack-horse over the mountains of western central Japan seemed, with the weighty boxes, in every way inexpedient.

They have been thought of as harbingers of evil as well as a sign of the divine. Eclipses—one of the rarest and most stunning celestial events we can witness here on Earth—have shaped the course of human history and thought since humans first turned their eyes to the sky. What do Virginia Woolf, the rotation of hurricanes, Babylonian kings and Einstein’s General Theory Relativity all have in common? Eclipses. Always spectacular and, today, precisely predicable, eclipses have allowed us to know when the first Olympic games were played and, long before the first space probe, that the Moon was covered by dust. Eclipses have stunned, frightened, emboldened and mesmerized people for thousands of years. They were recorded on ancient turtle shells discovered in the Wastes of Yin in China, on clay tablets from Mesopotamia and on the Mayan “Dresden Codex." They are mentioned in Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey and at least eight times in the Bible. Columbus used them to trick people, while Renaissance painter Taddeo Gaddi was blinded by one. Sorcery was banished within the Catholic Church after astrologers used an eclipse to predict a pope’s death. In Mask of the Sun, acclaimed writer John Dvorak the importance of the number 177 and why the ancient Romans thought it was bad to have sexual intercourse during an eclipse (whereas other cultures thought it would be good luck). Even today, pregnant women in Mexico wear safety pins on their underwear during an eclipse. Eclipses are an amazing phenomena—unique to Earth—that have provided the key to much of what we now know and understand about the sun, our moon, gravity, and the workings of the universe. Both entertaining and authoritative, Mask of the Sun reveals the humanism behind the science of both lunar and solar eclipses. With insightful detail and vividly accessible prose, Dvorak provides explanations as to how and why eclipses occur—as well as insight into the forthcoming eclipse of 2017 that will be visible across North America.
