UChicago astronomers from @yerkescosmos have studied solar eclipses since 1900. In total, they went on at least ten solar eclipse expeditions between 1900 and 1952, providing invaluable data to test fundamental physics. Learn more: ms.spr.ly/6013c0tBv
@AAS_Office @yerkescosmos A great cosmic cycle ...? Went on a field trip to Yerkes that was offered for participants of AAS 194 in Chicago, exactly 25 years earlier (and will return on a privately arranged tour ... this Wednesday).
One meter aperture ... 25 years after my first visit there I got to see the amazing refractor of @yerkescosmos again today, on a private visit we could arrange for 6 German eclipse chasers. Not visible in this shot: it was snowing heavily outside, quite unusual for an April 3rd.
