Solar Eclipse
To the Editor: Please note that the Big Island of Hawaii will see 4 minutes and 9 seconds of totality on July 11, not the 6 minutes you mention in Eclipse Tours in Hawaii (Travel Advisory, Feb. 10). Although many eclipse observers are opting for the longer (6 minutes 57 seconds) of totality in Baja California, the observing conditions are likely to be better in Hawaii because of cooler, more stable air. The logistical advantages of being in a place with no customs clearance and American electric current and other facilities have also led me to take my expedition to Hawaii instead of Baja California. More important is a clarification of the statement that many more people will settle for the astronomical cheap seats on other Hawaiian islands. A better analogy would be taking seats outside the opera house instead of inside, since none of the interesting eclipse phenomena -- including the corona and the diamond ring effect -- will be visible unless you are in the zone of totality. Though a 99 percent eclipse may sound like a lot, it is the last 0.0001 percent that counts, so 99 percent is off by a factor of 10,000 from the desirable case. My experience at 16 previous eclipses tells me that a 99 percent eclipse is closer to a 50 percent eclipse than it is to a total one in terms of human experience. JAY M. PASACHOFF Williamstown, Mass. The writer is director of the Hopkins Observatory at Williams College.
