Titolo: Italian mission to Crimea to observe the solar eclipse of August 1914
Abstract:
Total solar eclipse of 21 August 1914 attracted the attention of astronomers. There were plans for a few dozen expeditions but the beginning of the Great War limited the number of actual missions. They observed the total eclipse in Crimea (Teodosia), in Kyiv and a few locations in Sweden. We describe a mission of Italian scientists to Crimea, its composition, venue, instruments, program of observations and scientific results.
