Graphical evidence for the solar coronal structure during the Maunder minimum: comparative study of the total eclipse drawings in 1706 and 1715

Abstract: We discuss the significant implications of three eye-witness drawings of the total solar eclipse on 1706 May 12 in comparison with two on 1715 May 3, for our understanding of space climate change. These events took place just after what has been termed the “deep Maunder Minimum” but fall within the “extended Maunder Minimum” being in an interval when the sunspot numbers start to recover. Maria Clara Eimmert’s image in 1706 is particularly important because she was both a highly accomplished astronomical observ… Show more

“…While naked-eye observations of partial eclipses are challenging even at high magnitudes (e.g., Hayakawa et al (2021) Analyses of the Maya Eclipse Record, Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, DOI: 10.1093/pasj/psab088 Chou, 2016), several possibilities have been suggested. First, the Maya could have seen this deep partial eclipse under favourable meteorological conditions, such as a thin cloud cover as a natural filter.…”

“…This contradicts slightly the notion that this stela records the visible total eclipse on 16 July 790 (e.g., Teeple, 1931;Martin and Skidmore, 2012;Love, 2017). In this case, it was probably challenging to Hayakawa et al (2021) Analyses of the Maya Eclipse Record, Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, DOI: 10.1093/pasj/psab088 see the solar disk during partial eclipse without appropriate filters (e.g., Chou, 2016). In contrast, following the existing total-eclipse interpretations (Teeple, 1931, p. 115;Love, 2017, p. 3), we need to locate Santa Elena Poco Uinic within the totality path.…”
