| Popis: | The 18 August 1868 total solar eclipse was a watershed event in the history of solar physics, and a notable event in the history of Thai astronomy. This was the first solar eclipse subjected to detailed spectroscopic scrutiny, and the first solar eclipse investigated scientifically by Thai and Western scholars since King Narai and French Jesuit missionary-astronomers observed the partial solar eclipse of 30 April 1688 from Lop Buri. |
