The 28th, 74 deg after sunrise, solareclipse (at) 5 months' distance; when I watched I did not see it." Refers to a solar eclipse of 7 September 247 BC, predicted to takeplace in Babylon, but which was actually far north of Babylon. Babylonian tablet in the British Museum. Quoted in HistoricalEclipses and Earth's Rotation, by F Richard Stephenson, Cambridge University Press, 1997, page 122.September 07, 1820 Partial eclipse in England but annular over the Isles of Shetland. The trial of Queen Caroline was going on inthe House of Lords, and the House suspended its sitting for a short time for the sake of the eclipse. (ref. Chambers, The Story ofEclipses, 1899)September 07, 1858 Neither at Olmos nor Piura, did any enceinte woman leave her room during the eclipse, whilst some from curiosity, but more through fear, were in the streets, yet not daring to look upon the sun, lest malady befall them. The somber green lightgave them the appearance of corpses, and they apprehended that a plague might be visited upon them. Afterwards, the muleteers toldus that their animals stopped eating, and huddled together in evident alarm." Lieut.

Discovered 1956 September 7 at the Goethe Link Observatory at Brooklyn, Indiana. Named in memory of Charles Augustus Young (1834-1908), known affectionately as "Twinkle" Young by the Princeton students. He accepted the professorship of astronomy at Princeton in 1877, the year that his most famous student, Henry NorrisRussell {see planet (1762)}, was born. Earlier he was a professor at Dartmouth, as his father and grandfather had been. He discovered the green line ( lambda 5304) in the solar corona in 1869, and the following year he was the first both to observe the "flashspectrum" and to photograph a prominence. In 1876 he made the first use of the grating spectroscope in astronomy for the determination of the Sun's rotation period. The last of his three successful textbooks, Manual of astronomy, was updated by Russell, Dugan{see planet (2772)} and Stewart in 1926. (M 8798) Name proposed by F. K. Edmondson.

Discovered 1962 September 7 at the Goethe Link Observatory at Brooklyn, Indiana. Named in memory of Samuel Alfred Mitchell (1874-1960), a faculty member of Columbia University from 1899 to 1913 andthen director of the Leander McCormick Observatory until 1945, known for his work on solar eclipses and stellar parallaxes. Hismeasurements of the flash spectrum at the eclipses in 1900, 1901 and 1905 referred to nearly 3,000 lines. His book Eclipses of theSun went through five editions. His photographic parallax work with the McCormick refractor resulted in the publication of 2,001parallaxes by 1950. Subsequent work by van de Kamp {see planet (1965)} and Vyssotsky {see planet (1600)}, encouraged and supported by Mitchell, yielded absolute proper motions of 29,000 stars between magnitudes 8 and 12.

Babcock (1882-1968) and in honor of his son Horace W. Babcock, astronomersat Mount Wilson Observatory, the latter also serving as director of Palomar Observatory. The elder Babcock's precise laboratorystudies of atomic spectra allowed others to identify the first "forbidden" lines in the laboratory and to discover the rare isotopes ofoxygen. With C. E. St. John and others, he extended Rowland's tables of the solar spectrum into the ultraviolet and infrared. TheBabcocks ruled excellent large gratings, including those used in the coudé spectrographs of the 2.5-m and 5-m telescopes, and theymeasured the distribution of magnetic fields over the solar surface to unprecedented precision. The younger Babcock invented andbuilt many astronomical instruments, including the solar magnetograph, microphotometers and automatic guiders. By combining his

Wilsonreported a blue sun which was observed over Edinburgh on the afternoon of 26 September 1950. The sun was observed to be adeep blue indigo blue from 3 pm, when it was first noticed, until sunset. The following day, the sun's colour had returned to normal. Wilson, who worked on the Royal Observatory, had the presence of mind to take a spectrogram of the blue sun. This shows amarked extinction of the red part of the solar spectrum when compared to a spectrogram of the normal sun , so the effect was not aproduct of the observer's imagination. Wilson noted that extensive forest fires had been burning in Alberta, Canada, on 23 September. The smoke clouds had reached eastern Canada on 24 September, when they were thick enough to blot out the sun. When thesun did become visible again, it was purple or blue. Ref.
