Hi everyone,
Guy Boistel—a friend of mine, member of the GEOS, and a researcher in the history of science at the University of Nantes—has produced the following book:
It is also about the organisation, travels, tribulations and work of many professional astronomers that were sent in Spain, Algeria and other countries in the frame of the observation of the total eclipse of Sun in August 1905. Next year, a lot of us will be doing the same experience 122 years later.
The book can be freely downloaded here : https://site.bdlg.fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/BOISTEL_Eclipse_eBook_Rev1.pdf
For supporting the author (and the BDL’s publication) you can also buy the print version. Please contact the secretary of the Bureau des Longitudes regarding shipping details: Ms. Pascale Carpentier BUREAU DES LONGITUDES’s secretary at administration@bureau-des-longitudes.fr .
Best regards
Marc
