More than just a primer on the science
of solar eclipses, this memoir chronicles a physicist's lifetime fascination with the celestial phenomenon and introduces readers to the quirky world
of eclipse chasers (SN: 5/13/17, p. 28).
«The beauty
of eclipses is, each time you find something and then the next time you try to look for something else to enhance your science,» says Shadia Habbal, a
solar physicist and long - time
eclipse chaser at the University
of Hawaii at Manoa in Honolulu.
