Edmond Halley, Total Solar Eclipse,1715

A total solar eclipse occurred on May 3, 1715. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. The 1715 total eclipse was visible across England and Wales, northern Europe, and northern Asia. The 1715 eclipse is known as Halley's Eclipse, after Edmond Halley who predicted this eclipse to within 4 minutes accuracy. Halley observed the eclipse from London where the city of London enjoyed 3 minutes 33 seconds of totality. He also drew a predictive map showing the path of totality across England. The original map was about 20 miles off the observed eclipse path, mainly due to his use of inaccurate lunar ephemeris.
