Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The astronomers waiting for the eclipse
The eclipse of the sun on 12 December 1871 was a total solar eclipse as seen from part of Southern India, and the north of Ceylon. The place of observation selected, on the highest part of the fort of Bekul, in a most commanding position. Bekul is an old fort once belonging to Tippoo Sahib, of Mysore, but probably of older date, close to the sea and quite clear to the east. |
