TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE OF 1925

I have an update to this story. Jim Goetz came to our November 5 meeting and made a request. He is a man on a mission. He showed this Eclipse photo that he obtained from the St. Marys Museum. It was taken in the greater Stratford area.

Where was this Eclipse photo taken?

Jim wants help identifying exactly where it was taken. See Jim’s notes attached here for guidance. The photographer was H.R. Robinson.

From the skies of Stratford, Tavistock and St. Marys we were treated to a partial solar eclipse on April 8, 2024.  We were not in the path of totality, so the Moon did not cover the complete face of the Sun.

But, on January 24, 1925, under different circumstances, a total solar eclipse was visible.

(See this review from the Tavistock Gazette of the 1925 astronomical event).

Jim Goetz, of the KW-RASC, will join us at our November 5th SAG meeting and present us with a unique view of this 1925 solar eclipse.

Please join us  Tuesday to hear what Jim has to say about this eclipse. The meeting takes place at St. Michael’s Secondary School on Oakdale St. in Stratford. Enter from the parking lot at the north of building. The meeting is held in Room #104.
