<dc:title>British and Dutch-German Expeditions to Christmas Island to Observe the Total Solar Eclipse of 21 September, 1922</dc:title>
<dc:description>An expedition from the Greenwich Observatory and a joint Dutch-German expedition traveled to Christmas island to make observations of the total solar eclipse in May 1922. Both teams sought confirmatory evidence for Albert Einstein's Theory of General Relativity which the Greenwich team had found in 1919, although with large error intervals. Tragically, both teams were clouded out, but the north of the island had clear views of the eclipse.
