商品描述

This is the unique story of observing a total solar eclipse for no less than 74 consecutive minutes. On the summer morning of June 30, 1973, the Sun rises on the Canary Islands. But it is strangely indented by the Moon. The eclipse of the century has just begun. From the west, the lunar shadow rushes to the African coast at a velocity of over 2000 kilometers per hour. Astronomers on the ground will enjoy seven short minutes of total eclipse to study the solar corona - too short for Pierre Léna and seven scientists who board the Concorde 001 prototype, an extraordinary plane to become the first commercial supersonic aircraft. With André Turcat as chief pilot and his crew of five, at 17000 m altitude, the aircraft remains in the lunar shadow for 74 minutes, a record time of scientific observations allowing for exceptional measurements and not yet beaten. Science, technology, aviation and history combine in the story of a unique human adventure aboard a legendary aircraft, illustrated with a rich and original iconography. It reflects the wonderful domains that science and technology can open, and the passion in the professions they offer. Fifty years after this flight, the Sun's corona has yet to reveal all its secrets. A tenuous cloud of gas and dust, it influences the Earth, creates the aurora borealis, affects communications and can endanger satellites. To better understand it, we need to decipher its images. This enlarged second edition adds two full chapters dedicated to the solar corona and its plasma and its dust. In a final chapter the authors make the link to today's great adventure of astrophysics: the search for exoplanets, Earth's twin sisters, around stars not too far from the Sun, which are detected and studied through eclipses of their host stars. This book testifies to the horizons of science and the unprecedented emotions it can bring to us all. A must read for every eclipse chaser and fan of true scientific adventures.

Pierre Léna is emeritus professor at Paris Observatory, Serge Koutchmy (1940-2023) was a recognised solar astronomer and eclipse specialist.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這是一個獨特的故事，講述了觀測一次總日食長達74分鐘的經歷。1973年6月30日的夏季早晨，陽光照耀著加那利群島，但卻被月亮奇妙地凹陷。世紀之食剛剛開始。從西方，月影以每小時超過2000公里的速度衝向非洲海岸。地面上的天文學家將享受七分鐘的短暫總日食，以研究太陽的日冕——對於皮埃爾·萊納（Pierre Léna）和七位登上超音速客機康科德001原型機的科學家來說，這段時間太短。由安德烈·圖卡（André Turcat）擔任首席飛行員，五名機組成員在17000米的高度，飛機在月影中停留了74分鐘，創下了科學觀測的紀錄時間，允許進行卓越的測量，至今未被打破。科學、技術、航空和歷史在這段獨特的人類冒險故事中交織在一起，搭乘著一架傳奇的飛機，並以豐富而原創的圖像進行說明。它反映了科學和技術所能開啟的美妙領域，以及它們所提供職業中的熱情。距離這次飛行已經五十年，太陽的日冕仍未揭示其所有秘密。這是一層稀薄的氣體和塵埃雲，影響著地球，創造極光，影響通訊，並可能危及衛星。為了更好地理解它，我們需要解讀其影像。這本擴充的第二版新增了兩個完整的章節，專門介紹太陽的日冕及其等離子體和塵埃。在最後一章中，作者將其與當今天體物理學的偉大冒險聯繫起來：尋找地球的雙胞胎姐妹——圍繞著距離太陽不遠的恆星的系外行星，這些行星通過其母恆星的日食被檢測和研究。這本書見證了科學的視野以及它能帶給我們所有人的前所未有的情感。對於每一位日食追逐者和真正科學冒險的愛好者來說，這是一本必讀之作。

皮埃爾·萊納（Pierre Léna）是巴黎天文台的名譽教授，謝爾蓋·庫奇米（Serge Koutchmy，1940-2023）是一位公認的太陽天文學家和日食專家。

作者簡介

Pierre Léna, born in 1937, is an astrophysicist at the Observatoire de Paris (Paris Sciences Lettres) and a member of the Académie des sciences since 1991. Professor emeritus at the Université Paris Cité, he has trained many young people in their discovery of astronomy and their entry into research. His scientific career is rounded off by his work with La main à la pâte, of which he is one of the three co-founders, to promote the discovery of science in elementary school in France and around the world, and by his numerous publications aimed at the general public. In particular, he contributed to the installation of adaptive optics and interferometry on the European Very Large Telescope, which has been in Chile since 1998, and to the major results this made possible.

Serge Koutchmy (1940-2023), born in Le Creusot (Saône-et-Loire), is an astrophysicist and research director at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris. After studying at Moscow's Lomonossov University and obtaining a PhD from Paris University in 1972, he joined the Institut d'astrophysique (CNRS and Sorbonne University). A world specialist in the physics of the solar corona and its observation methods from the largest terrestrial observatories, as well as from space (CNES medal, 1983), he has collaborated with the USA, Japan and Russia, organized numerous expeditions to observe total solar eclipses and always supported amateur astronomers within the Société Astronomique de France, from which he received the prestigious Janssen medal in 1998.

皮埃爾·萊納（Pierre Léna），生於1937年，是巴黎天文台（巴黎科學文學院）的天體物理學家，自1991年以來為法國科學院成員。作為巴黎城市大學的名譽教授，他培養了許多年輕人探索天文學並進入研究領域。他的科學生涯還包括與「La main à la pâte」的合作，這是他三位共同創辦人之一，旨在促進法國及全球小學科學的探索，以及他針對大眾的多部出版物。特別是，他參與了自1998年以來在智利運行的歐洲超大型望遠鏡上安裝自適應光學和干涉測量技術，並促成了這些技術所帶來的重大成果。

謝爾日·庫奇米（Serge Koutchmy，1940-2023），生於勒克魯索（Le Creusot，索恩-盧瓦爾省），是巴黎國家科學研究中心的天體物理學家和研究主任。在莫斯科的羅蒙諾索夫大學學習後，他於1972年在巴黎大學獲得博士學位，隨後加入天體物理學研究所（CNRS和索邦大學）。他是太陽日冕物理學及其觀測方法的世界專家，這些觀測來自於最大的地面天文台以及太空（1983年獲得法國國家太空中心獎章），他曾與美國、日本和俄羅斯合作，組織了多次觀測日全食的探險，並始終支持法國天文學會的業餘天文學家，並於1998年獲得了著名的揚森獎章。
