A1 PHOTOS TAKEN - OF SOLAR ECLIPSE 2 Sentists on Pacific Isle Make Use of Spectroscope Niuafou Island, Oct. w — American and New Zealand scien- tigs snapped 41 photographs of the sup during the 93 1-2 seconds of its togal cclipse here today, and also made spectroscopic observations by wMich hope to learn more alput the atomic structure of the cin camera, designed to some of the theories of the 'German scientist, was used . The weather was ex- eedlent, were the scientists r warded for traveling thousands of jndes and working for months on {h# preparation of apparatus for the olervations. The moment of total eclipse is in- vaduable to scientists because it of- jefs them an opportunity to study thg flery atmosphere of the sun without encountering its direct light, witich is veiled by the brief inter- veption of the moon between the swth and the solar orb. e Seek New Elements Solar eclipses afford opportunities B e nnortnl s cl@ments. One such element—helium —4vas first located in the sun's at- mgsphere in this manner and later was found on earth. The rclation- ship of the various elements already cigck discovered have led scientists to be- | liexe still others exist, and ecach so- lar eclipse is viewed as an oppor- tufity for valuable exploration. Science also has found that atoms in‘the sun’s atmosphere behave dif- fetently than their carthly kindred, ch Einstein believes duc “‘eurvature of spiacc” about the so- lar body. This “curvature” was ob- served during an eclipse in 1919 to cause the bending of light rays pass- ing from distant stars to the earth, as nstein had predicted in his relativity theory.
