PEEC NEWS RELEASE

This Friday, March 8, Dr. Chick Keller will share stories of eclipse missions in the 1970s. PEEC is delighted to invite you to the Los Alamos Nature Center planetarium for this engaging talk. Dr. Keller will share insights about the 1970s airborne studies of the sun’s corona during total solar eclipses – conducted at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. By taking the airborne eclipse observations, lab scientists, including Keller and Art Cox, could extend their totality study and reduce interference from the atmosphere. Dr. Keller will talk about the successes and failures of some of these missions, sharing fantastic photographs of the corona.
