Excerpts from the Hayden Planetarium-Grace Peruvian Eclipse Expedition of 1937. George Clyde Fisher, curator of astronomy at the AMNH-Hayden Planetarium, led the expedition. The film opens with a train traveling up the Peruvian Andes toward the summit camp. At Cerro de Pasco, 14,600 feet above sea level, the staff sets up telescopes and William H. Barton, associate curator of the AMNH-Hayden Planetarium, checks the camera driving clock. Each member of the expedition staff is shown. The film ends with shots of the total solar eclipse on June 8, 1937—some of the first color footage recorded of the phenomenon. #eclipse #solareclipse #totality #astronomy AMNH Library catalog record AMNH Library Moving Image Collection AMNH Research Library This video and all media incorporated herein (including text, images, and audio) are the property of the American Museum of Natural History or its licensors, all rights reserved.
