Argentinean and Chilean Expeditions to near Cristina to Observe the Total Solar Eclipse of 10 October, 1912

Description

Separate expeditions from the Argentine National Observatory and the National Astronomical Observatory in Chile sent separate expeditions to Cristina to make observations at the total solar eclipse of 10 October, 1912.

Rain on the day prevented most observations from occurring.
